Issued by Deutsche Bundespost in 1983, this beautiful German semi-postal (Wohlfahrtsmarke) stamp features the Alpen-Milchlattich (Cicerbita alpina), also known as Alpine Lettuce. The stamp, valued at 120 Pfennig + 60 Pfennig, was part of the “Für die Wohlfahrtspflege” (For Welfare) charity series supporting social causes. The detailed botanical illustration captures the alpine flora’s delicate blue blossoms and toothed green leaves, showcasing Germany’s tradition of combining nature and philanthropy in stamp design.
