RUSSIAN LILIES

Today´s surprise for me was a bunch of flowers on stamps, from a Russian friend, Alexei. You can see them below. Each flower has a greeting on it :)


Cinnabar Lily - "Our Congratulations!".
Thunderbolt Lily - "Happy Birthday!".
Stargazer Lily - "We Wish You Happiness!".
Gilded Lily - "From the Bottom of the Heart!".
Regal Lily - "We Wish You Love and Joy!".

Not much to say about flowers, but I think they are quite nice. If you want to read more about them, follow this link http://www.backyardgardener.com

  1. I also have this series of stamps, except for the FDC and the souvenir sheet, unfortunately. In 2001 there was another issue stamps with flowers (tulips) and wishes:
