This vivid 3K postage stamp from the Republik Maluku Selatan (Republic of South Maluku) portrays the tropical beauty of Anthurium ferrierense, a striking ornamental plant known for its glossy heart-shaped leaves and vibrant red spathes. The design highlights the rich flora of the South Moluccas, reflecting the region’s lush biodiversity. Although RMS stamps were issued by a short-lived self-proclaimed republic in the early 1950s, they remain popular among collectors for their botanical artistry and historical intrigue.
