Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Flowers of the Caucasus 1st Series - European Globe Flower (Trollius europaeus) - Soviet Union 1975 - Michel's USSR 4429 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

I want to shout that the buttercup family has conquered our planet, do you doubt it?

Look at two series of stamps 1c and 2y, 1975 and 1976, and you will understand that this is the truth, buttercups are everywhere, buttercups are around us, at least in the Caucasus.

On the next postage stamp of the 1y series, you can see another representative of the 2y buttercup family.

Strange, information about this plant contradicts each other on the Internet.

Moreover, Wikipedia says that this plant is pollinated by flies, but it is an excellent honey plant, although not a word is said about the fact that this plant is pollinated by bees.

You know, this is a very interesting series of postage stamps in which we see plants that give cause for thought, lol.

Sometimes, they talk to us like that in the bank, when they offer us to take out a loan.

Bank employees say a lot of flattering words, beat around the bush, but, as a rule, they are silent about the most important thing.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.
