MP-P1

A sea poison tree (Barringtonia asiatica) flower from Tinian Island, Northern Mariana Islands in the Pacific. This plant is found across tropical from Indian Ocean to Western Pacific. Thanks heyjude for this private swap.

A US airmail stamp of Trunk Bay (94 cents) was used to sent this postcard. This is because the Commonweath of Northern Mariana Islands is part of the US Postal Service. Therefore, US stamps are being used here. This card was sent from San Jose, the main village on the island of Tinian on 1.5.2009. The postmark is "San Jose Rural ???/May 01 2009/Tinian MP 96952". A postage due postmark was stamped by the side. This might due to recent increase of postage of US Postal Service but postage due is not collected.
