2021 Garden Flowers Forever Postage Stamps Booklet First-Class

History the stamp represents:  One of the best parts of welcoming spring is looking forward to enjoying the outdoors again.  After a cold, wet winter, it feels wonderful to get out and soak in the warm sunshine.  And, of course, admiring all the beautiful flowers starting to poke their way through the ground.

In 2021, the USPS anticipated the arrival of spring with a new set of 10 Forever stamps honoring Garden Beauty.  Each design pictures a different flower, with two species pictured twice.  The blooms on the stamp are a flowering dogwood, tulip (shown twice), Allium, moth orchid (shown twice), dahlia, American lotus, Asiatic lily, and sacred lotus.  Some of these flowers are native to North America, while others made there way here from across the globe.  Wherever they came from, today, they are some of the most popular species found in American gardens.
