ISSUE Fall Garden Flowers
MEDIUM matboard; gouache; pencil
ILLUSTRATOR Ned Seidler
ART DIRECTOR Derry Noyes
FIRST DAY OF ISSUE May 15, 1993
The selected fall blooms were the aster, chrysanthemum, dahlia, hydrangea, and the rudbeckia. Including hydrangea as a fall flowering plant illustrates the difficulty of seasonal categories, since this flower is sometimes regarded as a late spring or summer bloom. Unlike the other seasonal issues, here the artist allowed for space between the individual flowers. |
