This beautiful 8-cent stamp from Tuvalu features the White Frangipani (Puafiti), a tropical blossom cherished across the Pacific Islands for its fragrance and elegance. Issued during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, as denoted by the royal cypher “E II R,” the design highlights the creamy petals tinged with yellow, set against lush green leaves. The Frangipani is symbolic of purity and welcome, often used in island garlands and traditional ceremonies. A fine example of Tuvalu’s botanical series celebrating native flora.
