\"Florile_Desertului_M\"<\/a>Flora, theme deeply cherished by philately lovers, is approached again this year by Romfilatelia<\/strong> in the postage stamps issue Desert Flowers<\/em><\/strong>, released in a distinct illustrative manner.<\/p>\n

When you think about desert, what is the first thing coming to your mind? Maybe sand and heat? Or perhaps vegetation? Or rather its absence?<\/p>\n

Although the desert is a geographical area where rainfalls are very rare, and is known as being favourable to few forms of life, it still gives people numerous and varied plants.<\/p>\n

Four of these flowers characteristic to the desert areas are illustrated on the postage stamps of the issue.<\/p>\n

On the stamp with the face value of lei 1.00<\/strong> is reproduced the image of the Echinocereus triglochidiatus<\/strong> flower, belonging to the Cactaceae family<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This plant is native to the southwesternUnited States of Americaand northernMexico, being found in rocky desert regions, but also in shady areas, up to 150-3.500 meters altitude. Given the prosperity of its strains to gather tight, it can also resist at lower temperatures.<\/p>\n

The plant has many sprouts, forming hundreds of spherical to cylindrical heavy spiny stems. The red-orange flowers are 8 or 9 centimeters wide. They stay open day and night, blooming from April to June. Its fruits are red and eatable.<\/p>\n

On the stamp with face value of lei 1.40<\/strong> is illustrated the Baileya multiradiata<\/strong>, a plant native to westernMexico and theUnited States of America.<\/p>\n

It is a plant belonging to the Compositae family<\/em> that can be found in desert areas or on sunny sandy soils. It can reach up to 20-50 centimeters height, and grows in large, rug-shaped groups, being an annual or perennial short-lived herbaceous plant. It emphasizes through its yellow flowers, blooming from April to October, and has hair-surfaced deeply lobbed leaves.<\/p>\n

Solanum elaeagnifolium<\/strong>, a plant from the Solanaceae family<\/em>, is presented on the stamp with the face value of lei 8.10<\/strong>. Native to North America, it also spread accidentally inSouth America,Australia,Egypt,Greece,Israel,India,Italy andSouth Africa.<\/p>\n

It is an invasive plant, whose spread is difficult to control, dangerous to crops and resistant to drought. The plant multiplies quickly, and has vigorous roots which penetrate the soil up to 2-5 meters depth. Its leaves are silvery-green, hair-surfaced, and the flowers are most often blue to pale lavender, or occasionally white. It blooms from April to August, and its orange-red berries are toxic, a particular characteristic to all the species in the Solanaceae family.<\/p>\n

On the stamp with the face value of lei 14.50<\/strong>, we can see the Hibiscus denudatus<\/strong>, a perennial shrub which belongs to the Malvaceae family<\/em>, and grows up in the southwest of the United States of America, northern Mexico, but also in desert areas, on plates and rocky slopes, up to 600 meters altitude.<\/p>\n

The plant reaches 1.5 meters, and the leaves are light green small, hair-surfaced and finely toothed. The flowers are pink or light lavender, but also white, often translucent, in broad cup shape.<\/p>\n

The flowers bloom from January to October, and the fruit seeds are often feed for birds.<\/p>\n

We thank the management of \u201cDimitrie Brandza\u201d Botanical Garden in Bucharest for its support in the accomplishment of this postage stamps issue. <\/em><\/strong>
