Sunday Stamps - Green: Great Britain

 What better way to begin the colour green than at - 

Great Britain - 8 February 2005

This year on that date we were suffering from the start of three days of snow which hung around for a week.

A series of stamps were issued in 1990 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of Kew Gardens  and all of which fit our green theme.

Great Britain - 5 June 1990

These depict:

• Cyad and the Sir Joseph Banks Building
• Stone Pine and the Princess of Wales Conservatory
• Willow tree and Palm House
• Cedar Tree and Pagoda

For other countries start in Canada at Sunday Stamps today.

Kew Gardens - Sunday Stamps II

I could have posted some individual trees in this woodlands, forests, parks or gardens theme but chose instead to stay in the famous Kew Gardens.

Great Britain - Kew Gardens, 150th Anniversary

I must admit that this is not a favourite set of mine with what I think are wishy-washy colours. My scan has 'improved' their appearance.

Issued on 5 June 1990, the stamps are:

• 20p Cycad and Sir Joseph Banks Building
• 29p Stone Pine and Princess of Wales Conservatory
• 34p Willow Tree and Palm House
• 37p Cedar Tree and Pagoda
