150 Years of Botanic Gardens

Another set of beautiful stamps that depict the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Wow! I didn't know the Botanic Gardens in Singapore was 150 years old.

Cash Crops of Early Singapore

I bought a set of these stamps from SingPost. It depicts the early cash crops that were grown in Singapore. Yes, it is hard to believe but Singapore used to have plantations and orchards. That is why the name of the road in town is called Orchard Road!

The cash crops shown in these set of stamps are pepper, tapioca, nutmeg and rubber.

Tapioca can still be found growing in various parts of Singapore.

Formula One Singapore Grand Prix Stamps

These are the set of stamps that was issued for the inaugural Formula One Grand Prix that was held in Singapore last year. Fernando Alonso won the first grand prix that was held in Singapore.
