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.

Mongolia Dandelion Postage Stamp (another one)

Here is another of my Dandelion Stamps in the archive. Issued in 1985, it's another one from Mongolia and has the latin name Taraxacum officinale on it. Again, I can't find the artist's name. Mongolia seem to like dandelions on stamps - this is one of three different ones i've found so far. 
I can feel a trip to Mongolia coming on.... (when coronavirus allows etc).

Mongolia Dandelion Postage Stamp

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.
