[Aroid-l] Aroid stamp

From: abri1973 at wp.pl (Marek Argent) on 2007.10.05 at 12:19:31(16396) If I could draw better I would make a series with aroids (coz I hate stamps with photographed plants) and I would send it to the national post with a proposal of an aroid issue. The plants would be also not the most popular ones coz on the most of stamps with aroids there are Anthurium andreanum & scherzerianum and Zantedeschia cultivars My series would be: Spirodela polyrrhiza, Epipremnum pinnatum 'Aureum', Helicodiceros muscivorus, Alocasia reginula and Amorphophallus (maybe muelleri). Now you can see my collection of aroid stamps on the page: http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/stamps/stampe.htm But it hasn't been updated for a long time and I plan to modify it.
