Merci George pour cette lettre venue de Taiwan avec deux timbres issus d'une série de quatre timbres émise le 12 Janvier 2012 consacrée aux fruits présents à Taiwan.
Thanks George for this cover with two stamps from a set of four (date of issue : Jan 12, 2012) dedicated to Taiwanese fruits.
Le timbre à 3,50 nouveau dollars de Taiwan nous montre une sorte de kiwi, fruit désormais consommé sur toute la planète.
The 3.50 NT$ stamp shows us a kind of kiwifruit also known as Chinese gooseberry.
The 12 NT$ stamp illustrates an American nightshade or glossy nightshade, a berry that can be toxic but which is considered edible in some countries in Africa and Oceania. However care should be taken before you taste this fruit since numerous toxins are reported with levels varying with local conditions and varieties!
Nice blog you have here!
