This summer, Post Offices will be abuzz with the release of the
four-design, 20-stamp Pollination booklet. The four designs featured
depict: two Morrison's bumble bees paired with purple, or chaparral,
nightshade; a calliope hummingbird sipping from a hummingbird trumpet
blossom; a lesser long-nosed bat preparing to "dive" into a saguaro
flower; and a Southern dogface butterfly visiting prairie, or common,
ironweed.
