The set honors natural & man made wonders in the USA. The bright colors & creative designs of these stamps hint at the romance of travel & discovery, conveying nostalgia for all aspects of popular American culture. Text on the back of each stamp gives details. This series was issued in a sheet of 40 different stamps, so each design only appears once on each sheet. A bit difficult to find multiples. Bristlecone pines, oldest trees Great Basin Bristlecone pines are remarkable for their great age & their ability to survive adverse growing conditions. in fact, it seems one secret to their longevity is the harsh environment in which most bristlecone pines grow. Bristlecone pines in Great Basin National Park grow in isolated groves just below treeline. Conditions are harsh, with cold temperatures, a short growing season, & high winds. Bristlecone pines in these high-elevation environments grow very slowly, & in some years don’t even add a ring of growth. This slow growth makes their wood very dense & resistant to insects, fungi, rot, & erosion. Vegetation is very sparse, limiting the role of fire. Bristlecone pine seeds are occassionally cached by birds at lower elevations. Bristlecone pines grow more rapidly in more “favorable” environments at lower elevations. They do not achieve their legendary age or fascinating twisted shapes. While bristlecone pines are the longest-living tree, scientists debate what is truly the oldest living thing. The creosote bush that grows in the Mojave Desert may be older. The cresote achieves its age by “cloning” new bushes from its root system. Yet bristlecone pines surely deserve our respect for not only surviving harsh conditions, but thriving in harsh conditions. Mix & Match values to make the current rate.
