Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Flowers of the Caucasus 1st Series - Snowdrop Anemone (Anemone sylvestris) - Soviet Union 1975 - Michel's USSR 4431 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Considering the series of stamps Flowers of the Caucasus 1st Series, which was presented to us in 1975 and the now defunct country of the USSR, I realized that the Caucasus is like an ark that contains all types of plants, or flowers of the buttercup family.
It is not surprising, because it is believed that Noah's Ark was moored to Mount Ararat, which, as you know, is located in the Caucasus.
Apparently, Noah's bag of seeds of different buttercups scattered, and all of them, even those who have chosen the latitudes of Alaska, are met in the mountainous regions of the sunny Caucasus.
On another postage stamp we see a modest-looking plant and flower - Snowdrop Anemone (Anemone sylvestris).
Its Russian name is associated with the wind.
Not every bee can reach the place where these flowers grow, but there is a Caucasian breed of bees that have adapted to the sharp change in temperature in different mountainous areas, because, in the lowlands, it is warm, and a little higher, snow can already appear even on summer days.
Noah, he has foreseen it.
It is thanks to him that we can, today, consider postage stamps, for one simple reason, he obeyed the voice of God and built an ark ... well, after that, such concepts as economics have already appeared, finance and postage stamps lol.
