Issued in December 1937 for Costa Rica’s Exposición Nacional de Agricultura e Industria (National Exhibition of Agriculture and Industry), this 1 centavo stamp beautifully depicts the Guaria Morada (Guarianthe skinneri), the country’s national flower. Printed by Waterlow & Sons of London, the design combines elegant green framing with a central violet illustration of the orchid. It commemorates Costa Rica’s agricultural and commercial progress during the late 1930s and stands as a vivid example of early Costa Rican philatelic art celebrating natural heritage.
