On August 15, 2008, in Hartford, Connecticut, the Postal Service issued a 42-cent, Sunflower definitive stamp in one design in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) double-sided booklet of 20 (Item 678300), designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC. This 2008 definitive stamp features a close-up of a sun­flower (Helianthus annuus) in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The photograph is by Eddie Hironaka, and the sunflower is one of the many modern ornamental varieties. The radiant beauty of sunflowers has long inspired photographers, painters, and poets, as well as gardeners, floral arrangers, and countless other admirers.
