Greetings friends!

***Cypripedium sullonum

The cruise ship warned with a whistle of departure and today, we will leave the island of Cuba, which gave the world a magnificent series of stamps Tropical Orchids, which was issued in 1972.

People who work tirelessly are said to work like slaves, probably this is how the printing presses and the personnel of the printing houses of Cuba worked such an impression is created when you open catalogs of postage stamps and you see the number of series that were issued during the communist regime of this island.

In exchange for postage stamps and fruits, Cuba received from the USSR machines, weapons, equipment ... I doubt that something else could interest the Cuban authorities in the USSR.

But, the postage stamp was a very hard currency, which allowed those who were not allowed to leave the USSR to see the life of the country in the Caribbean.

So, this series of postage stamps appeared in my collection.

Today we will see a postage stamp that will complete this series.

This postage stamp features Cypripedium sullonum, and the postage stamp has a denomination of 30 Cuban centavos.

As you can see below, the cost of this postage stamp is quite high when you consider that it is a canceled-to-order postage stamp. It is not often, in modest collections, that you see stamps of this value.

I think that the real cost of this postage stamp is ten times higher.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.
