The ancient

the series "Wilderness Germany".

I love the flower stamps Germany issues,
but I don't know much about them.
Information is always welcome.

With
this new U.S. Flag stamp, the Postal Service continues its tradition of
celebrating patriotism with one of the most recognizable symbols of the United
States. The flag, in various forms has been pictured on U.S. stamps going as
far back as the 30 cents 1869 Pictorial issue. In the modern era, the U.S.
Postal Service makes sure that a Flag stamp is always available to mailers, and
in a variety of formats. This stamp's design features a detail from a
photograph of the billowing Stars and Stripes.

Originally
issued in 2016 in a coil format, Pears, a 10-cent definitive stamp featuring
two red pears on a white background, is being offered in 2017, in panes of 20.
The two most common red pears grown in the United States are the red Anjou,
similar to green Anjous in all respects other than color; and red Bartlett
pears, referred to as "Summer Pears" for the time of year in which
they are harvested.
Originally
issued in 2016 in a coil format, Grapes, a 5-cent definitive stamp featuring
two clusters of deep-purple Pinot noir grapes growing on vines among several
green leaves, is being offered in 2017, in panes of 20.
Identified
as a French wine grape, it is now grown in other regions including Oregon and
California in the United States. Translated from the French, "pinot"
is "pine", for the pine-cone shaped clusters in which the grapes
grow, and "noir" is "black".
The stamp
art is an existing illustration by John Burgoyne, who created the original
artwork with pen and ink and watercolor.
