It is a close relation of the 2022 Tulips Forever design. No official ceremony was held; the first-day postmark came from Lawrence, Kansas, home of Grinter's Sunflower Farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy wild sunflowers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunflowers read as summer anywhere in the world, and they come in enough colors and sizes to suit any occasion. The mental image is usually a towering stalk, but North America's native wild sunflowers are often modest — up to about six feet, with flower heads three to four inches across. They grow easily in a backyard and pull in pollinators, butterflies and hummingbirds especially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat smaller scale is exactly what makes them work in a delicate bouquet, which is what this stamp shows. Combined with other bright blooms, it is a piece of summer you can put on an envelope in any month.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forever Stamp Center","offers":[{"title":"100 Stamps (5 Sheets)","offer_id":47100601696455,"sku":"ST22-A5-5","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 Stamps (25 Sheets)","offer_id":47100601729223,"sku":"ST22-A5-25","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 Stamps (50 Sheets)","offer_id":47100601761991,"sku":"ST22-A5-50","price":330.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/6250\/4647\/files\/DAD1608C-EA4E-7032-E425-3E38C7AC73AD-1-1-800x800_ef84f18d-3a6d-48ee-b7ba-4cf9f3055641.jpg?v=1788604408","url":"https:\/\/www.foreverstampcenter.com\/products\/not-forever-stamp-two-ounce-stamps-2022-sunflower-bouquet-wedding-invitation-first-class-rate","provider":"center","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
