This is all I can find in my collections: the "Queen Elizabeth" rose, first grown in the USA in 1954, from the 1975 New Zealand roses issue.

401 collections so far. Not sure how many stamps that is! I still have loads to mount. But then I get a "squirrel" moment (like from the movie, "Up") and decide to collect another topic, like French "Mariannes". Keeps me out of trouble at the weekends, I guess 😀 What are you currently collecting?

Hi Mitch, and drat! I already have the souvenir sheet and only needed the singles (diff. perf.), but I JUST placed an order for them over lunch, along with a bunch of other stamps. That said, I think we shouldn't be afraid to ask our small group if anyone can help fill gaps in a budding collection!

Oh, nice! That's my next big project. I have all the stamps except for the ones from Paraguay (and a couple from Equatorial Guinea and Guinea Bissau which, frankly, I'm not worried about.) But thanks for the offer! I really appreciate it. If you have any gaps I can fill, let me know!

Let's not forget the lovely 10/- note, lost due to decimalization in 1970, back when could buy a lot of stuff for 10/-...

Happy Birthday, John's Mum! Here are some birds from Ecuador...

That's very kind! I need Tuvalu Scott #43-45 (with perf. 13½ x 14) either MH or MNH. I already have the souvenir sheet (perf. 15), and I thought I was done, then realized the singles have a different perf, dammit! And I like to be complete... 😊

It's (almost) finished! I finally (almost) completed my 1977 Silver Jubilee collection. (Realized I was missing three stamps from Tuvalu...) #Philately #StampCollecting #Stamps dicksstamps.online/collections/...

From the 1947 issue commemorating the second anniversary of the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
