Stamp Stories from around the world

“The Southeast Asian Lady’s Slipper Orchid” (Paphiopedilum lowii). With pouches full and petals tipped in pink, Paphiopedilum lowii swoops down like a pelican in search of food. Endemic to Borneo and the Malay Peninsula, this southeast Asian lady’s slipper blooms in the spring, with three to four golden yellow flowers attached to a very long stalk. Todays stamp showing “The Southeast Asian Lady’s Slipper Orchid” is from Malaysia.
