The Isle of Man, a scenic island off the coast of Great Britain, was occupied in the 9th century by Vikings, then passed through various private owners. Purchased by England in 1765, the Isle is now a dependency of the crown, although it is not subject to acts of the British Parliament. Common to many of the British Isles, the Ragwort is the national flower of the Isle of Man. Rose of Sharon are low, dense bushes supporting beautiful flowers, which can be seen in seaside areas throughout Great Britain. A member of the chrysanthemum family, Feverfew is a common plant once used as a medicine to reduce fevers. The soft lavender Sea Holly flower grows in gravel areas. The tiny scarlet flower of the Scarlet Pimpernel can often be seen amid growing crops. The Common Fuchsia garden shrub has been naturalized on the island. The bell-shaped flowers of the Bluebell blend into a soft blue haze in the woods. The spreading leaves of the Hard Fern reach twenty inches long. Moors and bogs provide a suitably damp home for the Royal Fern. The red and white ribbons on this painting feature the official colors of the Isle of Man.

This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood® Combination First Day Cover of the Isle of Man 9P and 25P Royal Wedding stamps issued July 29, 1981.
