Silene vulgaris, Bladder campion.
Jorun Tharaldsen, a MGS member, kindly sent me some photos, by e mail, of some stamps depicting flowers from India.
Anyone else wishing to do so is very welcome, so far I have exhausted my collection of flower/plant stamps up to the letter I in the alphabet.
India issued this series, WILD FLOWERS OF INDIA, in 2013.
We could only find one reference to Silene vulgaris in THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN in issue number 3 Winter 1995/96 in the article HOME GROWN VARIETIS by Derek Toms.
The photo was taken one April morning in Mystras, Lakonia, when the hillside was one veritable Mediterranean garden
