Bosnia Sarajevo stamps year 2006 Flora – Vegetables set MNH (**)
In 2006, the Sarajevo-based postal administration of Bosnia and Herzegovina (JP BH Pošta) issued a lovely definitive and commemorative series showcasing common vegetables grown in the region.
The collection was officially released on March 1, 2006, and featured individual varieties as well as specific combinations on First Day Covers (FDCs).
Set Details & Stamp Variations
The series is broken down by the specific vegetables featured, their face values (denominated in Convertible Marks, or KM), and the designers behind the illustrations:
| Stamp Subject / Pair | Face Value | Designer / Author |
| Garlic & Carrot | 0.50 KM / 1.00 KM | I. Saračević |
| Borecole (Kale) & Cabbage | 0.30 KM | H. Šabanić |
| Potato & Cauliflower | Varies (FDC at 1.30 KM) | S. Konjhodžić |
Note on “Borecole”: In European philatelic catalogs, borecole is simply another traditional name used for curly kale (Brassica oleracea var. sabellica), which is widely cultivated throughout the Balkans.
Formats Available
- Standard Sheets: The stamps were printed in small, accessible sheets of 10 stamps each.
- First Day Covers (FDCs): Released alongside the stamps on March 1, 2006, featuring custom botanical-style illustrated cancellations combining the paired vegetables (e.g., the Garlic and Carrot FDC had a face value of 2.50 KM).
