With a surface of 47,000 ha, Rodna Mountains National Park includes the highest peaks of Eastern Carpathians (Pietrosu Mare Peak, 2303 m) and one of the oldest natural reservations in our country (Pietrosu Mare, 1932), known as Biosphere Reservation. The importance of this National Park is due both to the geology of the massif and to the diversity of flora and fauna species, some of them very rare and others found only on this massif. Moreover, in 1979, UNESCO MaB Committee (Man and the Biosphere) in Paris decided to award this area with the status of Biosphere Reservation.<br \/>\nIn order to support the efforts made for the environment protection \u2013 fauna and flora included \u2013 which are part of our national wealth and should be preserved for the future generations, Romfilatelia releases the postage stamps issue \u201cFlora from protected areas \u2013 The Rodna Mountains\u201d.<br \/>\nThe stamps collectors will discover illustrated in this philatelic issue the following flowers: Pigeon\u2019s Gizzard, Martagon Lily, Large Pink, Alpine Aster, Bell-flowers and Edelweiss.<br \/>\nEdelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum), a real wonder of the nature, stated nature\u2019s monument and protected by law, is illustrated on the stamp with the face value of RON 0.30.<br \/>\nIt is a perennial plant, has a line stem without branches, 5-20 cm high in Romania, but in other countries it can be higher, up to 50-80 cm. The edelweiss grows in alpine areas, but sometimes we can meet it in subalpine zones. It has woolly leaves on top, some bigger, some smaller, forming a star shaped flower. The plant is covered with soft white-silver hairs, which give it grace and beauty. It flowers in July and August.<br \/>\nAlpine Aster (Aster alpinus) \u2013 illustrated on the stamp with the face value of RON 0.60.<br \/>\nThe Alpine aster is a low plant, met in subalpine and alpine areas. It grows in rocky soils, in sunny places and it is 10-15 cm high. Its flowers have a diameter of 5 cm. They are colored in pink with a yellow center. It flowers in May and June.<br \/>\nLarge Pink (Dianthus superbus) \u2013 illustrated on the stamp with the face value of RON 1.00.<br \/>\nThe Large pinks often form shrubs, have thin stems, up to 30 cm high, with clusters of flowers on top, flowers which have a diameter of 1.5-2.5 cm. The leaves are slender, laid in pairs; those on the base of the stem are many and thin. The large pink flowers in June and July and we can find it in grassy rocky places, sometimes even on desert rocks.<br \/>\nPigeon\u2019s Gizzard (Silene nivalis) \u2013 illustrated on the stamp with the face value<br \/>\nof RON 1.20.<br \/>\nIt is the most well-known flower, endemic species which represents the emblem of Rodna Mountains National Park; here is the only area where it grows.<br \/>\nBell-flowers (Campanula persicifolia) \u2013 illustrated on the stamp with the face value of RON 2.40.<br \/>\nThey are a perennial species, 30-70 cm high. The plant flowers in June and July and we can see it in skirts of forests, but also on mountain paths, to which it gives a vivid look.<br \/>\nMartagon Lily or Turk\u2019s cap Lily (Lilium martagon) \u2013 illustrated on the stamp with the face value of RON 3.10.<br \/>\nThe lily is one of the oldest flowers planted by humans, dating from at least five thousand years ago, even older than the rose. Native to Europe, it reaches 100 cm high and has pink-purple flowers. Its petals are much wriggled to outside, showing a special beauty.<br \/>\nWe want to bring here special thanks to Rodna Mountains National Park Administration (Biosphere Reservation) for the documentary consultancy offered for this philatelic issue.<\/p>\n<p>Issue date: 2009-03-28<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/romfilatelia.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/flora_box_rom.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2004028 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/romfilatelia.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/flora_box_rom.jpg\" alt=\"flora_box_rom\" width=\"900\" height=\"396\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a surface of 47,000 ha, Rodna Mountains National Park includes the highest peaks of Eastern Carpathians (Pietrosu Mare Peak, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2043925,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_cat":[2608],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2043924","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-2009-annual-collections","7":"desktop-align-left","8":"tablet-align-left","9":"mobile-align-left","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"product-type-grouped"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2043924"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2043925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2043924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2043924"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magazin.romfilatelia.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2043924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
