This German semi-postal stamp, issued in 1981, belongs to the “Für die Wohlfahrtspflege” (For Welfare) series featuring plants. It depicts the Seekanne (Nymphoides peltata), also known as the fringed water lily, with its striking orange-yellow blossoms and rounded floating leaves. The stamp carries a face value of 50 Pfennig + 25 Pfennig surcharge, the latter supporting welfare causes. Designed in a detailed botanical style, the issue highlights Germany’s tradition of combining charity with philatelic artistry. A notable item for collectors of flora, charity stamps, and German semi-postals.
