March - Spring Flowers on Postage Stamps
March 20th, at long last is the First Day of Spring. This winter has brought high snow banks, slick roads and sidewalks, frigid temperatures, and icicles. We are looking forward to brighter days, warmer weather, and snow melting! This edition gathers together a collection of colorful Spring Flowers on stamps from Bulgaria, Denmark, Israel, Japan, Romania, Morocco and more. The focus of this Spring flower collection is primarily on the Hyacinth, Iris, Primrose and Tulip. Not only is this collection for the stamp collector, but also the gardner with links to the origins of flowers, planting tips, herbal uses and more. Enjoy this touch of Spring!
