Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Flowers of the Caucasus 1st Series - Yellow Anemone (Anemone ranunculoides) - Soviet Union 1975 - Michel's USSR 4430 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Have you read the science fiction novel Day of the Triffids by John Windem?
This is one of the most, the most fantastic of science fiction books, the hero of which finds himself in the world of the blind, blinded by the seeds of alien plants, surrounded by monsters in the form of living plants that spit poison and hunt people.
I don't know what plants on our planet are capable of this, but. the buttercup family has accumulated a huge amount of poison and I hope it doesn't get angry with people and start a full-scale war lol.
Another postage stamp from a series of postage stamps Flowers of the Caucasus 1st Series, issued in the USSR in 1975, shows us another contemplated plant from the family of buttercups Yellow Anemone (Anemone ranunculoides.
It received the same name as the coral reef inhabitant anemone, which has tentacles with venomous stinging glands, which confirms my surreal thought about triffids.
In general, information about this plant is very scarce, apparently, they want us to pay for it.
I would be careful picking flowers in the Caucasus, they can damage your skin with their poisonous juice, and do not taste them.
10 kopecks of the USSR, this is the face value of this postage stamp.
For 10 kopecks, you would not be able to get to the Caucasus, but, you could go to a morning screening at the cinema and watch a comedy, originally from the Caucasus, Mimino, or something else.
