Garden Delights, a set of stamps
from 2024.
features stamps in which there are
different scenes of four.

A ruby-throated hummingbird
takes great delight
in hovering near a flower,
each a pretty sight:

A zinnia, cigar flower,
a spotted touch-me-not
and the fourth – a sunflower,
which I like a lot.

Oh, Sunflower, with large florets center,
be prepared to meet
the hummingbird approaching you
with her nectar sweet.

Such petty stamps, Andrea! Congratulations on your win. I especially like the hummingbird as I have a feeder outside my office window and take delight in watching these amazing little birds. Blessings.
