The unveiling ceremony for the Cactus Flowers Forever stamp collection took place in conjunction with the AmeriStamp Expo at the Mesa Convention Center. The event was attended by Diane DiPeri, William J. Gicker (the Postal Service’s acting director of Stamp Services), and Ken Schultz (executive director of the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ).
Each stamp in the Cactus Flowers Forever collection showcases the unique floral display of one of ten different cacti species. These include Opuntia engelmannii, Rebutia minuscula, Echinocereus dasyacanthus, Echinocereus poselgeri, Echinocereus coccineus, Pelecyphora aselliformis, Parodia microsperma, Echinocactus horizonthalonius, Thelocactus heterochromus, and Parodia scopa. Some of these cacti also go by common names, with certain varieties having multiple names in popular use.
The stamps are available in booklets containing 20 stamps each. These stamps hold the same value as the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. Each stamp design is featured twice within the booklet. Art Director Ethel Kessler created the stamp designs using photographs captured by John P. Schaefer.
Cactus flowers are known for their unique characteristics. While most cacti produce solitary blooms, some plants can have multiple blossoms at once. Flowering times vary among cacti species, occurring at different seasons and even times of the day or night. The flowers themselves are often large and vibrant, displaying colors such as white, red, pink, orange, or yellow.
The Cactus Flowers Forever stamp collection celebrates the beauty and diversity of these desert plants. With their striking designs and vivid colors, these stamps are not only a practical choice for postage but also a delightful addition to any stamp collection. Whether used for sending mail or collecting, these stamps capture the essence of the fascinating world of cactus flowers and their allure.
