Hi Bob - it's lovely to see cultural things on stamps - interesting as one learns a little about the country too ... loved seeing these - cheers Hilary
Those stamps are gorgeous. Love the selvage, too.
I like the shape of the Angsana. Nice to see the trees in full leaf as the first leaves start to make an appearance here.
Really gorgeous.
Fine specimens! I like that you can also see the tree limbs so clearly.
Lovely stamps and lovely green. Wish our trees looked like that, maybe some time this month.
Very nice stamps. My husband and I bought rosewood furniture while living in Malaysia one year. The wood is a reddish-brown and quite beautiful. We traveled to Singapore often.
