[Aroid-l] Aroid stamp

From: denis at skg.com (Denis Rotolante) on 2007.09.28 at 13:55:12(16353) Anybody can pick out a bunch of pretty flowers or fruits to put on stamps, but Some of these plants are not even native to Micronesia.This is obviously not meant to be a botanical drawing but an artist's rendition of something cute to put on stamps. A stamp collector would apreciate a little accuracy in the stamps a country produces what else makes them collectible. Native flowers and fruits on a country's stamps should be a given, I guess Micronesia doesn't care.

I know that artist sometimes don't see important features for botanists. http://photos02.allegro.pl/photos/oryginal/248/70/61/248706105 Besides I read somewhere that in various regions of the world, different species are cultivated as "taro". Can anyone help? Marek Argent _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L at www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l _____ Fussy?
