World Day for Biological Diversity: Persian Cyclamen — Cyclamen persicum
With a high face value, this stamp presents the Persian Cyclamen, locally called "Bkhour Mariem". The illustration shows a carpet of pink and white flowers with heart-shaped (heart-shaped) leaves.
It is the emblematic plant of the Boukornine National Park. This wild flower, of great beauty, is protected because it is vulnerable to excessive picking. It symbolizes the refinement and fragility of Tunisia's Mediterranean floral heritage.
