My 2022 Global Stamp Debuts!
14 03 2022Today’s the day!
It’s the first day of issue of the 2022 Global Stamp (with my photo of an African daisy) in Kansas City, MO.
Look for it at your local post office, or you can order online here:
https://store.usps.com/store/results?Ntt=african%20daisy…
This round Global stamp can be used to mail a one-ounce letter to any country to which First-Class Mail International® service is available. As with all Global stamps, this stamp will have a postage value equivalent to the price of the single-piece First-Class Mail International first-ounce machinable letter in effect at the time of use.

Global Forever® Stamp for 2022!
12 01 2022MINE!
I just got an email informing me that the news of the debut was released to the public today, so I can share the exciting news here!
USPS Reveals More Stamps for 2022: https://about.usps.com/…/0111-usps-reveals-more-stamps…
You can send 1 oz letters or postcards around the world with one Global Forever® stamp, which currently costs $1.30 and never expires, even if the postage price goes up. For large envelopes (flats) up to 15.994 oz, postage prices vary based on weight and destination.
The African Daisy stamp is being issued in self-adhesive panes of 10. This stamp will be released in Kansas City, MO, without a first-day-of-issue ceremony, on March 14. Sometimes the Postal Store will allow you to pre-order stamps from their website. I think they sometimes put issuances on pre-sale 30 days before issuance, so you might check out their site mid-February: usps.com/shop and then go to Stamps and search for African Daisy.
This is the 11th image I’ve had published as a Forever® stamp. Previously, I had images for: Ferns 2014, Water Lilies 2015 and Kenilworth Park (as part of the National Park Service 100th Anniversary 16-stamp panel) in 2016.

Same time, last year: Hoverfly on African daisy
24 03 2012Originally posted March 24, 2011
Hoverfly (Syrphidae), also known as Flower fly, on an African daisy (Dimorphotheca aurantiaca)
I found this image in my archives recently—photographed at Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island north of Victoria, Canada three years ago. If you’re a garden lover or love to photograph gardens, put this place at the top of your “to visit” list. It is spectacular!

Same time, last year: White Spoon Osteospermum
24 03 2010Originally posted March 23, 2008
This is an Osteospermum, also called African Daisy, Cape Daisy or Spoon Daisy (because of the spoon-shaped ray florets). I believe this might be the cultivar ‘William.’
