Stamp

When you have followed my blog for quite some time, you might know that I love stamps. 

Recently I had some stamps made for my sister as a birthday present. 

I asked her to let me know what should be the theme and subject for the stamp. She came up with this. In the area were my parents and their grandparents family were born, there is growing a very rare flower. not in other places in our country, as far as I know.

When I was a child these flowers were already very rare, and at that time we were told not to pick them because they are protected. So now many decades later, they are very, very rare. I have very lovely memories of that time.

Its the wilde kivietsbloem ( (Fritillaria meleagris) (Checkered Lilyflower.)

They are beautiful lovely flowers in white and purple-ish colors. only growing in wet meadow lands.
I asked her to sent me a stamp in the mail. 
So here it is!
