On June 29, 2007, Post Offices will be abuzz with the release of the
Pollination stamps. The 20-stamp booklet consists of four stamps
arranged in two alternate and interlocking blocks of four. The intricate
design of these four beautiful stamps emphasizes the ecological
relationship between pollinators and plants and suggests the
biodiversity necessary to ensure the viability of that relationship. 

Depicted on the Pollination stamps are four wildflowers and four
pollinators. The common and scientific names of the featured flowers are
purple nightshade, also known as chaparral nightshade (Solanum xanti);
hummingbird trumpet (Epilobium canum); saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) and
prairie ironweed, also known as common ironweed (Vernonia fasciculata).
The common and scientific names of the featured animal pollinators are
Morrison's bumblebee (Bombus morrisoni); calliope hummingbird (Stellula
calliope); lesser long-nosed bat (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) and
Southern dogface butterfly (Colias cesonia)...
