| 1999: Coastal Flowers (Design - Wayne Rankin; Cover Design - Melinda Coombs) |
A day for the seaside here, warm with blue skies but I travel by stamps to the sandy coasts of Australia where flowers play a role in the forming and stabilising the dunes while looking beautiful.
The flowers are clockwise - Fuchsia; the yellow trailing Guinea flower; Australian Bluebells which occur throughout southeastern Australia and Beach Morning Glory.

| 2021: The Calf of Man - 70th Anniversary of the Manx National Trust |
One of a set of stamps celebrating the Calf of Man, a small island just off the southwest coast of the Isle of Man, a nature reserve and bird observatory, the flower they chose for the stamp set was Thrift or Sea Pink, a familiar plant of wild coasts, although people grow it in their gardens too, a very accommodating plant.

I'm happy to see a frilled tulip (a favourite of mine)
The Australian set - and the cancel - is really pretty.
All these stamps are really nice, and I can say I have been lucky enough to get some of them.
NOt the Isle of Man stamps. Neither I have seen the Thrift or Sea Pink in person, I think.
