Again, I apologize for the picture. Me and that cat had another battle.
Flora and Fauna Series: (1990-2006)
The very existence of a Flora and Fauna series is subject to debate among U.S. stamp collectors, and even if the series is accepted, the inclusion or exclusion of specific stamps is subject to the opinions and preferences of each individual stamp collector. The Postal Service does not recognize these stamps as an ongoing series, despite calling three of them part of the "Wildlife" series in their official announcements. The informal "Flora and Fauna" series include some later issues depicting wildlife, plants, flowers, fruits and berries.*
The Scott Catalog recognizes the early issues from 1991 to about 1995 (1¢, 2¢, 3¢, 19¢, 20¢ Blue Jay, 20¢ Pheasant, 29¢ Wood Duck, 29¢ Pine Cone, 30¢, 32¢ Peach, 32¢ Pear, 45¢ and $2 denominations) as the "Flora and Fauna" series. Most later issues are treated as independent stamps. *
