U.S.A. (1992) Wild flowers: Twinflower*, Sunflower*, Bunchberry*, Pasqueflower*, Plains prickly pear, Moss Campoin. Scott No 2665-6, 2675-6, 2686-7. Yvert No 2067-8, 2077-8, 2087-8. Fantastic perforation error in a block of 6 wildflowers. First, two rows of perforations cut into 2 of the stamps, then, the vertical perforations are very odd too as the sheet seems to have gone though the perforation machine twice leaving ten 40mm high vertical holes rather than perforations. A magnificent showpiece!
