Issued by the République Populaire du Congo in 1971, this beautifully engraved 5 Franc stamp celebrates the tropical elegance of Plumeria acutifolia, also known as frangipani. The design showcases the plant’s creamy yellow-pink blossoms set against a vivid blue backdrop, highlighting the botanical detail typical of Congo’s flora series. Printed with fine line work by Delrieu, the stamp forms part of the Flore Tropicale thematic set, highly sought after by collectors of African flora and engraved issues. A vibrant and well-composed piece, it adds strong thematic value to any botanical or Congo collection.
