Hi

I know these have been posted before, but I'm thrilled to say that I recently came upon a set, with a fourth stamp showing a VFT, which I didn't know exsisted before (Been after them for ages!)

This is a rather nice set I recently came upon:

 

Issued in 2012, by Mari-El (a federal subject of Russia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_El ), and used for local postage only.  They show images of D. anglica, D. intermedia & D. rotundifolia

In retrospect, I'm not entirely convinced they're genuine. But if you're interested have a look here: https://www.stanleygibbons.com/search/?q=Insectivorous+plant

 

I know absolutely nothing about stamps, but i myself was questioning their authenticity looking at the interesctions of the perforations They look a bit irregular, dodgy even, compared to the preceisly spaced perforations i've seen on the corners of a sheet of UK stamps.

Could this be a sign that they're fake, or is it just a case of some countries' production technology not being so "fussy" (for want of a better word) ?

I think you could be right. Nevertheless an interesting addition to my collection which already includes some unofficial stamps, charity stamps, freaks and oddities... And now some likely fakes, it would seem!
