This attractive 1974 German welfare issue features four beautifully illustrated flowering plants: Lichtnelke (ragged robin), Fingerhut (foxglove), Malve (mallow), and Adventsstern (poinsettia). Each stamp includes a surcharge added to the postal value to support national welfare causes, a traditional feature of German “Wohlfahrtsmarken.” The clean botanical artwork and coordinated pastel borders make the set visually harmonious and highly desirable for thematic collectors specializing in flora, charity issues, or German semi-postal stamps. Complete mint sets with intact gum remain popular among European charity-issue collectors.
