Three of the five 2012 bonsai stamps. You’ll notice that each one gives the common name of the tree.
Bonsai stamps
For a long time, our (U.S.) stamps were a lot like our money, monochromatic, often difficult to tell apart at a glance, and frankly, a little boring at times. In the last twenty five years or so, all that has changed. Now, just like stamps in most other countries, colorful, sometimes even beautiful US stamps abound. You can even see famous (and not so famous) art celebrated on US postage stamps. Which brings us to the stamps shown here; five U.S. postage stamps that celebrate the art of bonsai. Each one a work of art in itself. They’re not out yet, but you can look for them sometime in 2012.

I first heard about our future bonsai art stamps on Bonsai Mary. You could go there for more, or go this site that features art stamps.
Just a very quick note to thank you for all the info you have provided over the past time….most of which I would never be able to find.
