How wonderful to return from a holiday and find some postcards waiting for me. Bluebonnets or Bluebells grow naturally only in Texas and nowhere else in the world! What kind of a flower have you found in your country/district that grows NATURALLY only there? Quite fascinating if you think of it! Apart from joining postcrossing, I have a few friends that have decided to interchange postcards at our own leisure and pleasure. Snail mail might be slow, but to read the pen written word from a friend TOPS and email any day! Thanks Jessalyn!

I love getting hand-written envelopes in the mail. Mostly only happens at Christmas nowadays.

Nowadays it is difficult to single out any flower that is exclusive to a country Everyone is trying to grow flowers of all types. We never had tulips before but they are being tried in Kashmir.

I need to get back to doing Postcrossing. I recently sent a letter/package to a pen pal and need to get another done and ready to send. I've just been so darn busy lately. ;p

The bluebonnets are nice flowers, this is the state flower of Texas, but I have seen them in other southern States. Lady Bird Johnson encouraged planting those flowers along Texas highways, when her husband was in the White House.

@inlemay I must give some thought to what plants grow only in Ireland. There's probably some plant that grows onlhy in the Irish boys that I love tramping through.
