Bringing to 24 the number of U.S. 2022 stamps devoted to floral themes, these stamps celebrate the warmth and cheer that flowers and berries bring to our natural landscapes, even after surprise snow. In these hand-sketched and painted designs, the artist uses light, shadow, and luminous color to evoke the beauty of 10 species: camellia, winter aconite, crocus, hellebore, winterberry, pansy, plum blossom, grape hyacinth, daffodil, and ranunculus.
Derry Noyes designed the stamps with original oil paintings by Gregory Manchess.
