BANANA
FRUIT & FLOWER
I'd never really considered banana flowers before though of course they must have them.
ReplyDeleteI've seen bananas growing but I don't recall seeing the flowers. Lovely covers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa.
DeleteThe stamps in the first cover are wonderful. I love these vintage style. also the postmark in the last one is a gem!
ReplyDeleteHi Hawwa, Thanks for dropping in.
DeleteI hadn't thought of horticulturists what a neat idea. I like the stamp theme of Flora and the horn of plenty. Seahorses are such cute creatures I think that is the first time I've seen them on a cancel.
ReplyDeleteJoy,I love the cancel myself. It's very cool.
DeleteWhat a selection you have given us and the seahorse postmark seals it to perfection.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob, I appreciate the compliment. Beginners Luck.
DeleteYour first stamps are a great addition to this theme! I would not have thought of it. Plus I don't have those stamps :-)
ReplyDeletethank you for participating.
Thanks, I always enjoy Sunday Stamps. Wish I had more stamps to share. I have only recently started accumulating them. I started a few weeks back saying I was not a stamp collector. I am afraid the bug has bitten.
DeleteOh, I saw a banana flower for the first time a couple months ago (in a greenhouse).
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool name 'Liberty Hyde Bailey'
You Know, I thought the same thing about "Liberty Hyde Bailey"
