2024 Ruby-throated Hummingbird & Zinnia – Garden Delights
• Continues the tradition of flowers on US definitive stamps
Stamp Category: Definitive
Set: Garden Delights
Value: 68¢ First Class Mail Rate (Forever)
First Day of Issue: March 16, 2024
First Day City: Strongsville, Ohio
Quantity Issued: 525,000,000
Printed by: Ashton Potter (USA) Ltd.
Printing Method: Offset
Format: Double-sided Booklets of 20
Watermark: Nonphosphored Type III, Block Tag Applied
Why the stamp was issued: To celebrate the beauty of garden flowers and hummingbirds.
About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph of a female ruby-throated hummingbirds next to a zinnia. Existing photograph by wildlife photographer Ben King.
First Day City: There was no official First Day of Issue Ceremony for these stamps, but the postmark was from Strongsville, Ohio.
About the Garden Delights set: Includes four stamps picturing photographs of female ruby-throated hummingbirds next to different garden flowers: sunflower, spotted touch-me-not, zinnia, and sugar flowers.
History the stamp represents: Some people only mow their lawns twice a year. Rather than being the result of neglect or laziness, this can be a way to cultivate what is known as a “native plant yard.”
Through the years, we have learned the importance of planting native species in our gardens (plants naturally found in our area). Exotic species are no longer as popular because they can become invasive and out-compete native plants for resources.
Native plants have many positive traits many gardeners will be interested in. These include not needing fertilizers, requiring less watering, and (the biggest one) providing shelter and food for local wildlife. With deforestation and habitat loss, many animal species need help now for than ever. By planting more native flowers, trees, and shrubs, gardeners provide the right habitat to help these animals thrive.
Since many native plants are perennials (regrowing year after year without needing to be replanted), they also tend to be more hands-off when it comes to gardening. That means you can spend more time enjoying your garden (and its soon-to-be many wildlife visitors) and less time replanting.
