Plants - Action for Species is a stunning set of Special Stamps featuring delicate, botanical paintings capturing the beauty of ten of the UK’s most endangered plants.
The Plants stamp issue celebrates the vital part flora plays in our planet’s bio-diversity and is the third in Royal Mail’s Action for Species series, which looks at the UK’s endangered flora and fauna. The first in the series, Birds, was issued in September 2007, the second, Insects, was issued in April 2008.
To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew a Miniature Sheet of four stamps will be issued on the same date. Kew has a lead role in conserving biodiversity through its scientific and conservation work.
Royal Mail is also producing a Presentation Pack, First Day Cover, Stamp Cards and a Press Sheet, to accompany the Action for Species - Plants stamp issue.
