M19: Daisy Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows three daisies (as what the back of the postcard says). I also had time identifying the exact specie of the daisy. There are about 1,600 genera and 23,000 species of the family Asteraceae or Compositae (known as the aster, daisy, or sunflower family).

M17: Rose Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows a bouquet of red and pink roses in a vase and taken in a studio, I assume. There are over 100 species of rose so I cannot identify the exact species of the roses in the postcard.

M15: Philippine Orchid Postcard

This is a 3D postcard that shows a Philippine orchid. It looks like it is the same orchid as the MF23 Postcard; either Cattleya or Phalaenopsis.

MF23: Philippine Orchid Postcard

The postcard shows another Philippine orchid. Am not sure if this is a Cattleya or Phalaenopsis. If anyone can identify the orchid, do leave a comment. I will then research more about the said orchid.

MF21: Philippine Orchid Postcard

The postcard shows one of the many orchids that are endemic in the Philippines. Unfortunately I could not identify this specific orchid. I have checked online but no luck. I have also checked my stamp collection and found souvenir sheets or miniature sheets of different Philippine orchids, but also cannot find it!

TRIVIA: The Philippines is home to more than 800 species of orchids.
