I don't know if it's a generational preference or not, but I enjoy sending and receiving paper greeting cards.  You can tell the time and effort the sender put in to selecting the greeting card for you.  And it's a fun challenge finding the perfect card with just the right sentiments and cover to send for a specific occasion, be it a birthday, or a thank you.  The greeting card is a representation of the sender.  So is the stamp used to mail the card.

Let's face it, we all do pay attention to the stamp if it's not the run of the mill flag stamp.  Since you have a choice in the postage stamps you purchase, why not purchase one of interest to you?  Right now there are a number of postage stamps with images of flowers or fruit and berries that may be of interest to gardeners.           

One of the new first class forever stamps currently available for purchase features the Peace Rose.  Two other first class floral stamps also available include the Flowers from the Garden stamp which features hydrangea flowers, and the Celebration Boutonniere stamp.  There's also a $1.15 international Succulent stamp, and a 71 cent Celebration Corsage stamp.           

If you're into growing fruits and vegetables, you may be interested in the ten cents Pears stamp, five cents Grapes stamp, three cents Strawberries stamp, two cents Meyer Lemons stamp, and once cent Apples stamp.  You can order all of these stamps from the USPS website at www.usps.com.  And if you ever wondered how you can suggest a subject for a new stamp and how the US Post Office decides on new stamps, you can also find that information on the USPS website at https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/csac/process.htm.
