Greetings friends!

*Looking at the Tropical Orchids series of postage stamps, issued on the island of Cuba in 1972, and noticing some errors in the printing of these stamps, you need to understand that this was a time when there were no digital printers for printing photographs.

*We must pay tribute to the fact that we, in general, could see at that time these beautiful and inaccessible to us orchids.

*On another postage stamp with a face value of 3 Cuban centavos, we see a representative of the orida family - Cypripedium exul.

*This postage stamp is the third in this series, but the second postage stamp in my collection.

*A postage stamp with a face value of 2 centavos was issued in a circulation of 10,000 copies and, at the time when I purchased this series, the seller did not have it.

**Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

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.
