Easily one of the most popular stamp topics to collect are flowers. Flower stamps can be depicted as beautiful watercolor, acrylic, or oil paintings, or richly colored photographs showing the bloom of the flower in its splendor. On many of our collectible postage stamps, it is common to see flowers alongside birds, insects, and animals. Postage stamps issued in certain countries around the world allow the collector to enjoy the beauty of flowers, plants, fungi, trees, shrubs, vines, aquatic plants, and cacti native to that region.
Other popular flora stamps include greenery postage stamps depicting trees, shrubs, pine, berries, and other types of non-flower stamps. Browse flower and botanical stamps on our website to find the perfect addition to your stamp collection!

The History of Flower Stamps
When the initial production of stamps first began in England, the original stamps almost always portrayed a portrait of a king or queen. However in 1851, Sir Sanford Fleming was giving the job of designing a stamp, and he chose to feature an image of a beaver, thus starting a new theme of featuring nature on stamps. From there is when the idea of using flowers on stamps was born, it became a way to show the unique characteristics and beauty of the region and country it came from.
Famously, the red rose is known for representing love and romance by tradition, in literature, and in popular culture. By contrast, yellow roses symbolize joy and friendship. White roses meanwhile suggest innocence and purity.
Meanings and symbolism do not just apply to flowers. For example, throughout history, olive branches are depicted in art as a symbol of peace and victory. The plant or flower’s color can convey a certain emotion or have different meaning from another color. As you collect flower stamps for your collection, notice the use of flowers and plants in topical stamps that depict British royalty, history, art, and literature.
