| Le Chambre D'Écoute - The Listening Room - René Magritte (1958) |
There are two versions of The Listening Room by René Magritte, the green apple remains the same but in different rooms. In the 1952 version the room has a wooden floor and a glass window with a white surround. As can be seen in 1958 the room is now grey brick with an arched open-air window.
The Slow Martch Tree (
Careya arborea), native to the Indian subcontinent and Indochina, also known as wild guava. The fruit is edible but the seeds are poisonous. Many parts of the tree are used in herbal remedies.

Slow match tree is an interesting name. I find this version of the giant apple more pleasing than the other you mention. I also want to bite into that apple!
The first postcard is awesome. What a beautiful view from that train. Great green postcards!
And another botanical one here! Well, I guess the green apple can count as "botanical", too. I didn't know there were different versions, and you made me look them up.
