Paul Temple kindly pointed out on the Listserve last week that the Irish Republic (Eire) had recently released a new set of stamps featuring two different stamps with the same picture of Pinguicula grandiflora. Keen to keep my collection of Pings on stamps complete (there are now 8 - not the world's largest stamp collection!  ) - I sent off for the stamps from the official Irish Stamps web site www.irishstamps.ie . I was very pleased when they arrived yesterday, particularly with the First Day Cover, which not only includes both P. grandiflora stamps but has also been franked (stamped/cancelled) with a picture of P. grandiflora - cool!

Thanks for posting your photo Vic. After reading Paul's posting I tried to find a pic of them but ran out of time and had to go to work. Nice looking stamps! The P. grandiflora frank is frosting on the cake.  Steve |

Thanks for that Vic. I might have a go at that myself! How many did you have to buy to make up the minimum 10Euro order tho'? |

One First Day Cover, One pair of self-adhesive stamps (the ones with the N on) and two sets of the other four stamps.
No doubt, there are several other combinations that would get you just over 10Euros.

My stamps arrived today. Only need to find all the other CP issues now. How about a Forum Topic on CP Stamps and other CP collectibles. Pete |

It is only worth having that St. Vincent orchid stamp if you simply must have the faint photo of P. rotundiflora on the sheet! Vic |

Oh! That's what that is in the background! I think it's worth getting it just for the comic value!! |
