I've put a few postage stamps with Dandelions on this blog before - ones from Germany, Ireland, Estonia, Poland and Iceland.
I've continued to collect stamps with Dandelions for the archive and this one here is one of my favourites, mainly because of the triangular shape. Issued in Mongolia in 1973 it shows a lovely image of Taraxacum mongolicum. I can't find much information on the stamp, the artist for example, but i'll keep looking. The stamp is from a series on wild flowers.
I did find that Taraxacum mongolicum has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time with it's mineral elements being very rich.
