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