Flowers on stamps always look very nice. I have got one of those stamps from Jersey (the yellow carnation). But my favourite here are the stamps from Aland. A good idea to spread the beauty of folk art (and another f in your post!).

Love the series from Guernsey. I like that style of illustration.

All of these are so colorful, and I'm a tiny bit jealous that you have stamps from Åland

The Aland stamps are my favorite! especially the second one.

I love the Aland ones, and like Marina, the second best. I don't have any stamps from there.

Love all these flowers. The tulips are a favourite. But I would love to see these in Guernsey.

Åland stamps are my favorite. Partly because I live in Åland and send all my cards with Åland stamps.
