About the Autumn Colors set: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Each photograph was taken at a different location across the United States, a perfect way to emphasize the nationwide beauty of autumn.
History the stamp represents: Scientists have been trying to uncover the secrets of autumn colors for hundreds of years. While they may not know everything about it, there are many facts they’ve managed to figure out.
One of the greatest mysteries of autumn colors is timing. What makes the foliage begin to turn from green to the yellows, oranges, and reds the season is known for? Scientists believe this is primarily decided by the decreasing number of daylight hours as we approach winter. This leads to cooler temperatures and a decrease in photosynthesis activity in plants. However, there are other, less-certain factors that may affect leaf color. These include amount of rainfall, nutrients in the soil, and other considerations that vary from year to year.
When leaves do start to change color, there are three main pigments responsible for the particular hue of each species. Carotenoids create yellow, orange, and brown shades, anthocyanin makes reds and dark purples, and chlorophyll keeps leaves green. Different combinations of these pigments determine how each leaf appears as autumn continues. While leaves on the same tree are usually similar colors, no two are exactly alike. It’s part of what makes the stunning visual display we all look forward to every mid-September through early November.
