Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Cactus - Leptocereus wrightii - Cuba 1978 - Michel Cuba 2295 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
*Sometimes, even in your own apartment, you can find something interesting that you completely forgot about, but, in view of some circumstances, you had to strain your memory, lol.
*So, last night, starting to write a post about the first postage stamp from a series of postage stamps Cacti, issued in 1978 on the island of Cuba, I decided to look for a cactus on my windowsill and I found it.
*Then, I compared it with a mouse that is good at hiding, and for good reason, today, I found three more cacti that were hiding from me in the far corner of the windowsill.
*The postage stamp stimulated me to delve deeper into cacti and realized that these cacti belong to the species Trichocereus.
*There are several varieties of this cactus, more precisely, so far, I can not say.
*Due to the fact that I learned about this type of cactus, I will be very careful, because it produces toxins that can lead to numbness and other unpleasant consequences from a prickle prickle.
*I said that I found three more cacti, and you saw only two of them.
*In this photo you see a little baby cactus that, like a new block, spawned a new coin, lol.
*Buttet is interesting to see how this cactus blooms.
*Well, now, it's time to see a postage stamp in denomination of 4 Cuban centavos, on which we will see the blooming cactus Leptocereus wrightii.
*To be honest, I am surprised at the low cost of this postage stamp and the entire series at auctions, because the circulation is only 660,000 copies. On a global scale, this is minuscule, especially when you consider that many postage stamps have already ceased to exist, for various reasons.

I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone. For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
