About Greenlandic Plants - Lower Marginal

Greenland’s flora is tremendously diverse. From lush scrublands and vibrant flower meadows to sparse vegetation on rocky terrains and steppes. There are numerous different plant communities and habitats in Greenland, each characterised by an extensive array of plants and flowers. Greenland is home to more than 520 native plant species. There are also around 200 imported species, such as lupine, Siberian poppy and European dandelion species. The artist Buuti Pedersen has been designing stamps for Tusass Greenland since 1995. Moreover, she has an avid interest in botany. She recalls that, at the age of 12, she found a flower in her native town of Qaqortoq that was previously only known to have grown in one place in Greenland, namely near the hot spring at Uunartoq, Ittoqqortoormiit. The flower is currently kept at the Botanical Museum in Copenhagen. Buuti visited the museum some years ago, where the preserved flower was shown to her. Together with Buuti, we have selected the Greenlandic plants, which will be immortalised on stamps in the coming years. Very fittingly, we are beginning with Greenland’s national flower: the Dwarf Fireweed, as well as Lapland Rosebay. These two stamps are Buuti’s fourteenth and fifteenth stamp designs for Tusass Greenland.
