    Thank you for sharing; stamps tell a lot about history, culture, nature of countires. So this colelction is very interesting and informative, too!

    How great to have a postcard with a series of stamps. I presume it was issued by the Philippine post office.

      I don't think it was issued by the Philippine post office. It says "printed by Tropicana" but has no location.

    Just searched eBay postcards for "Tropicana" and saw a postcard of the 4 Philippines orchid stamps. Price is too high for me...
