15. Stamps with fuchsias on the internet |
 To Dutch version
 |
This
year published jubilee stamp 'Neu Kreuterbuch' on the site of a German fuchsia society get
into my head to look after wath stamps with images of fuchsias are to trace via
internet. |
|
This jubilee stamp shows a picture of an unknown plant outof the
'Neu Kreuterbuch' and don't belong to the collected stamps with pictures of fuchsias on
this website. The stamp is published this year on the occasion of the fact that 500 years
ago Leonhart Fuchs in Wemding saw the light. This medical scienser kept himself also busy
with botany and his most important botanical piece of work is the 'Neu Kreuterbuch', a
work that him delivers the surname of 'father of the botany'. The fuchsia however
doesn't occur in that book seeing that this plant wasn't discovered before 1700 by Plumier
for the first time. As homage to Fuchs he named this plant after him and this Fuchsia
triphylla coccinea is the first one of a large group relative fuchsia species and
cultivars. |

And by the search
instruction 'stamps AND plants' I discovered a well very strange fuchsia stamp outof
Sierra Leone. What do I see there, fuchsia flowers which are hanging to thin stalks to
above? Indeed, in comparison with the other stamps in the series you can see that here the
printer has commit a badly mistake and he has mounted the image on the head. Yes, so a
real and unique spoilt sheet! |
