One of my favorite subjects are flowers so that what Im' featuring today.
The stamps that were featured in 1981 are the Rose, Camellia, Dahlia and Lily.
These four stamps featured flowers which add beauty and brightness to America's gardens. The block was designed by Lowell Nesbitt of New York City.
The Rose is the worlds most popular garden flower and is the state flower of New York.
Gardening offers endless possibilites for self-expression and creativity. Since gardens are alive they are constantly changing and responsive to care. We as gardeners are taught patience and reverence for nature. In North America alone there are over 30,000 species of blossoming plants.
I have roses and lillies growing in my gardens.
Have a wonderful week smelling all of those delicious fragrances.

Beautiful flowers!
Sis I am so glad you are able to feature these stamps that you found when we were together. Great post. lv u Debbie
I thought I'd seen these stamps before but I don't think I can have if they're from 1981. They are really beautiful - I do love flowers. the rose probably is my favourite.
I bought a rosebush this year. It doesn't look like it is doing anything yet.
I don't remember these stamps at all! Wasn't I writing letters then? They are lovely. Thanks for participating.
I like flowers too,maybe I will feature mine in the days to come.
Thanks for visiting my Sunday Stamp.
I have some roses in the garden and it surprises me the most because they are all doing well and gives us blooms every day when the weather in Cambodia is too hot.
These are beautiful summer flowers, I like the B&W drawings against the coloured stamps. The wild roses are flowing in the hedgerows here at the moment.
beautiful stamps and covers!
