Netherlands Stamps With Real Flower Seeds

Yesterday, I received an ebay lot from the Netherlands which was nicely franked with the 2 stamps pictured below and several others.

Since it was a large envelope, I clipped the stamps off for soaking. I am glad I looked at these 2 stamps closely before soaking. Each stamp has a small, plastic seed packet attached to its center. I haven't tried to count the seeds.

Will the catalogs price them for both with and without seeds?

What an idea, 'let's spread unwanted, possibly indigenous-threatening, non-native plants around the world'.

Don, as the old saying goes "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

They are very common domesticated flower seeds that are common worldwide. No Kudzu or Mile-a-minute flowers seeds.

Bookbndrbob, good thing you did not soak them! Can you imagine, having flowers growing out of your album?

So will Scott's list them with and without seeds?

Peter, I do tend to have an overactive imagination at times. Yes, I can imagine green leaves peeking out of my albums. I keep silica gel packs in my cover boxes, because South Carolina is prone to have high humidity. And, I favor used stamps over mint.

Life is so persistent. It makes me wonder if any of these seeds could ever sprout from landfills.
