According to VNA, designed by artist Nguyen Quang Vinh, the collection includes a 54x37 mm stamp and a 105 x 80 mm block. The stamp is a close-up image of a branch of blooming Jacaranda mimosifolia flowers and the block features a row of blooming fern trees.
By using tempera watercolours, the artist has showcased the tender and poetic beauty of the flowers.
Jacaranda mimosifolia is a species of plant in the family Bignoniaceae, with a woody stem, about 10 to 15-metre-tall when mature, with wide canopy and double compound leaves. The flowers are bell-shaped, fluffy and grow in clusters. Flowering season lasts quite long, for around 3 to 4 months.
Jacaranda mimosifolia is native to the Americas and grows in places with cool climate and suitable soil. In Vietnam, it is grown the most in Da Lat city./.
