ReplyDeleteNice variety of themes for the year.

ReplyDeleteThank you for joining in this week.
Thank you for sharing; stamps tell a lot about history, culture, nature of countires. So this colelction is very interesting and informative, too!
ReplyDeleteYour post is a real bonus for me as the only Phillippines stamps I have are on a postcard Willa sent me last year.
ReplyDeleteThe Philippine stamps are always so colourful. I like the orchid one.
ReplyDeleteHow great to have a postcard with a series of stamps. I presume it was issued by the Philippine post office.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was issued by the Philippine post office. It says "printed by Tropicana" but has no location.
DeleteJust searched eBay postcards for "Tropicana" and saw a postcard of the 4 Philippines orchid stamps. Price is too high for me...
