This stamp is dedicated to the Hoya carnosa, better known as the porcelain or wax flower. The illustration highlights its characteristic umbel-shaped inflorescence, composed of small starry flowers with pink shades and a purple heart. Although it is an ornamental plant of tropical origin, it is very popular in Tunisian gardens and patios for its delicate beauty and its nocturnal fragrance. This program promotes the art of gardens and the passion of Tunisians for horticulture. It transforms a domestic plant into an object of aesthetic study, celebrating the sweetness of life and the decorative refinement that characterize the country's traditional and modern homes.
