The other flowers in the first class set are a purple iris, pink lily, a fuchsia, an orange-red tulip, a dark pink peony, a bright orange nasturtium, a pale pink rose and a light purple-tinted dahlia.
The King's silhouette was designed by illustrator Andrew Davidson, Royal Mail's head of design and editorial Marcus James, and Ian Chilvers, from design agency Atelier Works. Charles is known for his love of nature and is a keen gardener, having spent the last 40 years transforming the grounds around Highgrove House in Gloucestershire., Clarence House and Highgrove for the gold, pink, deep burgundy and white wreath which rested on her coffin, and included pink garden roses and dark purple dahlias.
A Royal Mail spokesperson said: "Flowers mark our celebrations, our joys and our sorrows and, above all, they unify us through a pleasure that we can all understand." The first class floral stamps are available to pre-order from today on the Royal Mail website or on 03457 641 641.
