Mongolia Dandelion postage stamp

 

I have a couple of Mongolia dandelion postage stamps listed on the blog already - and here's another to add to them. It's dated 1991. Unlike the other two stamps this has an artist name on it: D. Urtnasan who looks to have illustrated other Mongolian stamps depicting animals, flowers, pets etc. I love this dandelion with its slender leaves and the Mongolian mountains in the background.

Jersey Butterflies and Moths first day cover - with dandelion

 

I've not posted on the dandelion blog for ages, but items keep being donated or I find new things to add to the Dandelion Archive all the time. So, with a little spare time I'll try and list some of them more often... we'll see.

Here's a beautiful first day cover of Jersey Butterflies and Moths dated 9th July 1991. I'm struggling to find any information about the artist W. Oliver, which is a shame as the illustrations are gorgeous. The beautiful Jersey Tiger moth is pictured on a wonderful dandelion. So, although in the background and not the main focus of the stamp, it makes it to the Dandelion Archive all the same.
