New at Canada Post
I received a letter in the mail the other day and noticed something very interesting about the $1.05 stamp - it pictures Calypso bulbosa, Canada's Fairy Slipper orchid! I immediately went to the post office to buy one and found that the 89 cent stamp was also an orchid - Cypripedium parviflorum (var. pubescens) Canada's Large Yellow Lady Slipper. You know your an orchid enthisiast (or should I say freak?) when discovering one on the right hand corner of a envelope gives you a similar feeling to finding one in the wild.
