Issued by the Deutsche Bundespost in 1964, this 10 Pfennig stamp is part of the “Schützt die Pflanzen” (“Protect the Plants”) series, promoting conservation of native flora. It depicts the beautiful white water lily (Nymphaea alba), rendered in vivid greens and white tones, with a bright orange center symbolizing vitality. The series highlighted the importance of botanical preservation during Germany’s early environmental awareness movement. Designed with scientific precision, this issue remains a collector favorite for its blend of artistry and ecological message.
