Flowers - Caper
This stamp highlights the caper flower (Capparis spinosa), an inseparable element of the wild landscape and Tunisian gastronomy. Jalal Ben Abdallah's illustration captures the ephemeral and delicate beauty of this flower with its long purple threads, which contrasts with the robustness of a shrub capable of flourishing in the most arid and rocky environments.
Beyond its botanical interest, the caper tree (or Kebbar) symbolizes the resilience and generosity of a Mediterranean land which offers culinary and medicinal treasures from sometimes difficult conditions. By integrating this flower into its official philately, the Republic promotes its land and its biodiversity as pillars of national pride. This stamp transforms a spontaneous plant from our scrublands into an ambassador of the ecological wealth and harmony of the Tunisian ecosystem.
