Description

The vibrant pink flowers and green foliage are depicted against a background of horizontal lines, with a perforated edge characteristic of postage stamps.
History
Norway has a rich philatelic tradition, often featuring its natural flora and fauna on its stamps. This stamp, issued in 1979, belongs to a series that celebrated Norway's diverse plant life. The inclusion of both the common name 'Rødsildre' and the scientific name 'Saxifraga oppositifolia' reflects an educational intent often found on national stamps, showcasing the country's natural heritage.
Facts
Saxifraga oppositifolia is a flowering plant native to Arctic and alpine regions, often referred to as 'mountain saxifrage' or 'purple saxifrage'. Its ability to thrive in harsh environments makes it a symbol of resilience. On stamps, such botanical depictions serve not only as a means of postage but also as miniature artworks celebrating biodiversity and national pride.
Value Fact
Stamps featuring specific flora, especially from countries with strong philatelic markets like Norway, can attract collectors interested in botany or regional issues. The 1979 issue, while common, may hold value based on its condition, especially if it is part of a well-preserved collection or was issued in a limited print run. A value range between $0.50 and $3.00 is typical for such a stamp in good condition.
