Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Flowers - Common Hepatica (Anemone hepatica) - USSR 1983 - Michel USSR 5280

Imagine that time, or remember it, when there was no Internet.

It was relatively recent.

Today, when we want to see something, for example. wild flowers, we just need to ask a search query in a search engine, and flowers for every taste will appear on your monitor.

But, even then, there were several opportunities to learn more about the nature of your region, open an encyclopedic dictionary if you had one, go hiking and walk many kilometers through meadows and fields, and the third option is postage stamps.

Yes, you can tell pocket calendars and some postcards do the same. you could see the image of wild flowers, but, as a rule, only on postage stamps you could see the Latin name of the plant you were looking for.

A series of postage stamps "Flowers", issued in 1983 in the USSR, shows us wild flowers.

Images on postage stamps are quite recognizable and when you see a flower in nature, you can compare it with the image.

On the next postage stamp with a face value of 10 kopecks of the USSR, we see a flower Common Hepatica (Anemone hepatica).

But, this series of postage stamps can be considered too patriotic, the name of the flower is indicated only in Russian.

Apparently, Latin was considered anti-communist propaganda, lol.
