Sunday Stamps II - 157

1990, Trinidad & Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago are the most southerly islands in the Caribbean. They became independent nations in 1962 after being ruled by the Spanish and British - and in Tobago's case, also French and Dutch. This stamp, showing the more commonly called bamboo fungus, was issued for the World Stamp Exhibition.

for the letter T - Trinidad and Tobago

Surprenant country and stamp!

I agree, the stamp is really interesting, and a fungus I've never heard of.

Not something I would have associated with the West Indies.

One of the best fungus stamps I've seen.
