Israel 2003 Gerbera, Calla, Orinithogalum & Lisianthus ( My Own Stamp )

Four beautiful cut flowers were chosen for the special sheet: Florists Calla (Zantedeschia aethiopica); Prairie Gentian or Lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum), Barberton Daisy (Gerbera jamesonii) and Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum dubium).

Florists Calla (Zantedeschia aethiopica)

Six species of Calla are native to eastern and southern Africa. The large, white flower spate, long shelf life and exquisite form contribute in making this one of the more popular ornamentals. While in its native home the Calla is limited to seasonal swamps, in Israel it is cultivated in different soils.

Prairie Gentian (Eustoma Grandiflorum)

Also known as Lisinthus, this is one of the relatively new cut flowers, which, in the last fifty years, has become popular in gardens and in world commerce. Breeders in Israel and abroad transformed a not-particularly impressive herbaceous desert plant into one f the most well known cut flowers, with shades of white, blue, lilac, pink or red.

Barberton Daisy (Gerbera jamesonii)

Barberton Daisies are well known to florists, due to their variety of different colors – both delicate pastels and bright shades. The flower heads with a cloth-like texture are carried on a long, strong stem, above the leaf rosette. The Barberton Daisy is a perennial native to northern South Africa.

Star of Bethlehem (Ornithogalum dubium)

There are 120 species of the bulbous garden perennials, know as “Star of Bethlehem” which mostly flower in the spring and are found in the area from Europe to South Africa.

Nine species are native to Israel. Whilst most of the species have white star-like flowers in dense heads above a rosette of strap-shaped leaves, this South African species has orange, yellow or white flowers. The relatively large white bulb has substances that are used in folk medicine, but the sap can cause skin allergies.

China 2001 郑成功收复台湾三百四十周年

台湾自古就是中国的领土，1624年荷兰侵占台湾。民族英雄郑成功（1624—1662）1661年为收复台湾，率军二万五千，船舰数百艘，向台湾进军。在台湾人民有力支援和配合下，经过八个月的战斗，终于迫使荷兰总督揆一被迫投降，台湾重回祖国怀抱。1662年5月8日，郑成功病逝，年仅38岁。2001年12月13日，为了表达人民对民族英雄郑成功的敬仰和怀念之情，中华人民共和国国家邮政局发行了一套《郑成功收复台湾三百四十周年》纪念邮票，全套3枚。

闽海雄风：画面以桅帆林立的战舰为背景，采用特写镜头，表现了郑成功在厦门海域操训水师，准备收复台湾的英雄气概和旺盛的士气，全军同仇敌汽，对收复台湾有必胜的信心。郑成功挺立在战舰的甲板上，高大，威武；他昂首振臂高呼，正在挥剑向士兵们发布冲锋登陆的号令，正气，英气，豪气，永远震荡在历史长河中。

箪食壶浆：画面描绘了郑成功收复台湾取得胜利，率大军进驻台湾城，受到当地百姓的热烈欢迎，表现出了军民共庆宝岛回到祖国怀抱的欢乐气氛：台湾的老百姓从四面八方汇聚在一起，有的手捧革食，有的手提壶浆，有的振臂欢呼，热情迎接郑成功登岛；郑成功见状，立刻滚鞍下马，拱手致谢。画面有声有色有情，生动地表达了台湾人民对回归祖国的渴望，也证明了郑成功收复台湾的及时和正义。

日月重光：画面描绘了郑成功亲临台湾穷困地区指导开荒，突出表现他开发台湾，振兴经济，尤其重视团结高山族同胞，教他们先进的农耕技术，使他们摆脱原始形态。郑成功站在山坡之上，他挥手指点着前方，仿佛正在讲解着发展农业的规划；围在他身边的几位台湾高山族老百姓，手捧一张规划图，神情专注地倾听着，仰首望着远方，从激动的神情看，他们仿佛已经憧憬到了自己未来生活的美好情景。

Malaysia : Registerd Mail Label “PosDAFTAR”

As on 2 April 2001, all Malaysian offices introduced a new Registered post system, marketed as ‘PosDAFTAR’, which complied with the UPU standard. The UPU system ensures that, in theory, postal administrations should be able to track foreign mail automatically using the barcodes without the need to apply national tracking labels.

The new Malaysian system required all registered mail to carry a large, self-adhesive, combined stamp and label with computer barcodes, including tear-off barcode strips which could either be attached to documentation, such as the postman’s delivery receipt book, or scanned by a handheld recording device.

The backing sheet of the stamp provided instructions for use and acted as the sender’s receipt.

The registration fee (and postage in some cases) was therefore no longer paid for using ordinary postage stamps, but was paid using these labels.

At launch, the system used three versions of the PosDAFTAR stamp, for domestic, international and postal service use, plus a registration envelope for domestic use only.
