My UNICATE / UNIKAT MAXICARD with red and yellow roses, made with a lenticular / 3D / stereoscopic postcard. Click to see the pictorial postmark from Rosebud, Missouri 63091, USA
In case you don't see the postmark, see it here:

My non-traditional (simply because it has rounded corners; plus, it's not a commercial postcard) MAXICARD / DORINCARD with a SUNFLOWER (Helianthus annuus) [watch out: this last word is written with 2 Ns and 2 Us!]
"Heliotropism
A common misconception is that sunflowers track the sun.[7] In fact, mature flowerheads typically face east and do not move. The leaves and buds of young sunflowers do exhibit heliotropism (sun turning). Their orientation changes from east to west during the course of a day.[8] The movements become a circadian response and when plants are rotated 180 degrees, the old response pattern is still followed for a few days, with leaf orientation changing from west to east instead.[9] The leaf and flowerhead bud phototropism occurs while the leaf petioles and stems are still actively growing, but once mature, the movements stop. These movements involve the petioles bending or twisting during the day then unbending or untwisting at night."
"Mathematical model of floret arrangement
A model for the pattern of florets in the head of a sunflower was proposed by H. Vogel in 1979.[18]This is expressed in polar coordinates
where θ is the angle, r is the radius or distance from the center, and n is the index number of the floret and c is a constant scaling factor. It is a form of Fermat's spiral. The angle 137.5° is related to the golden ratio (55/144 of a circular angle, where 55 and 144 are Fibonacci numbers) and gives a close packing of florets. This model has been used to produce computer graphics representations of sunflowers.[19]"
All this mathematics...does it look to you like BLIND EVOLUTION?
Or GENETIC ENGINEERING...from above...and outside Earth?

Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
and interests he likes to share.
His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
postal system) shines through.
He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
