Issued in 1973 by the French Republic, this beautiful 0.50 franc postage stamp showcases the vivid Anthurium flowers of Martinique. Designed by Pierre Lambert, the stamp features a vibrant cluster of red, pink, and white blossoms set against a silver-gray background, emphasizing the tropical richness of French overseas flora. The issue celebrates Martinique’s exotic botanical heritage and forms part of France’s series highlighting flora from its territories. A fine example of mid-20th-century French botanical philately.
