Pitcairn's proximity to the equator is roughly the same as Hawaii and gives the island a similar sub-tropical climate. Temperatures are constant between 20 and 30 degrees which give rise to many tropical fruits and particularly, flowering plants.
The colourful Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia) and heleconias are standout while the Hibiscus rosa sinensis and the Allamandas are ever-present. More unusual is the Anthurium andraenum and the Alpinia purpurata, which all contribute to make this landscape a stunning tropical feast for the eyes.Mini sheet with 6 stamps | $9.00 | |
