Palm Trees and a childhood memory
I scanned this stamp and listed it for sale yesterday (Ceylon 1 rupee 1944), and had a real flashback to collecting stamps in the UK as a kid. The palm trees were exotic, strange, trees to me then, but they were on a lot of my stamps. That was part of the allure of collecting, free travel to faraway places.
I'm surrounded by palm trees now and detest the damn things. They're forever dropping fronds and they attract spiders and mosquitoes.
For reasons best known to someone else, this particular stamp triggered my deep-seated childhood memory.
Weird.
