Gotta hand it to Canada Post once again. Last year they issued gorgeous lilac stamps, and now they have lucious peony stamps on offer. They're domestic stamps; one features Elgin Peony and the other the single-cup Coral 'n Gold.
They were designed by Isabelle Toussaint, the same Montreal graphic designer who created the lilacs stamps.
Another little set of stamps of interest to gardeners, issued in December 2007, features beneficial insects: Lady Beetle, Lacewing, Bumble Bee, Dragon Fly and Cecropia Moth.

I always try to buy and use the stamps with pretty pictures on them. I get quite fed up with the ones with the Queen on them ... guess I've been away from Britain too long to appreciate the royalty.
ReplyDeleteAs a stamp collector in a former life, those are gorgeous. Canada has done a good job in picking, I think I like the beneficials best. That moth is stunning.

Just beautiful! The US has a beautiful set of "Pollination" stamps that are my favorite as well. http://www.usps.com/communications/news/stamps/2006/sr06_048.htm
