In the movie Men in Black II there is a Post Office scene where the aliens have an appearance that is an allusion to the 29 cent five stamp panel depicting the Hyacinth, Iris, Tulip, Lilac, and Daffodil. Also, K tells J that there is a free mental health clinic on the corner of Lilac and East Valley (East Valley being a reference to the Kidron Valley in the middle east, the site of Armagedon.) The Men in Black reference to the stamp set is unmistakable. Hyacinth is the Greek word for Sapphire. Sapphire is the gem stone of the ninth month. In the ninth chapter of the book of Revelation, verses 17 through 18 it refers to the fourth rider of Apocalypse on a horse with a breastplate emblazoned with gem stones red as fire, yellow as sulphur, and blue as sapphire. The Hyacinth stamp has three hyacinths, red, yellow and blue. The flag of Imperial China had the colors red, yellow and blue. What other countries have a flag with those exclusive colors?
