Seasonal Flowers

Flower power

“The illustrator has succeeded in effectively depicting the variety of colours and shapes of the flowers on the small format of the stamp.” Corinne Lutz, Stamps & Philately Product Manage are at Swiss Post Diverse and natural: the flowers on these designs reflect the philosophy of the slow flowers movement, which is committed to regional, seasonal and sustainable cultivation and trading of cut flowers.

Whether as a gift or for decoration, flowers bring joy. The arrangements depicted on the new designs also convey the main idea behind of the slow flowers movement: all varieties can be grown and picked in natural Swiss gardens – they are seasonal, regional and sustainable. The spring design features peony, buttercup, sweet pea, garden rose and bearded iris in bloom against a light, mint green background, while the late summer design has dahlia, cosmos, marigold, globe amaranth, coneflower and clary sage in their full radiance.
