2022 Tulip Bouquet Forever Postage Stamps Sheet First-Class

About the stamp design:  Pictures a digital photograph of a grouping of overlapping red, orange, yellow, purple, and white tulips on a white background.  Digital photography by Harold Davis.

First Day City:  There was no First Day of Issue Ceremony for this stamp, but the First Day of Issue postmark was from Mount Vernon, Washington, home to the well-known Skagit Valley Tulip Festival held each April.

History the stamp represents:  Tulips are known to herald the true coming of warmer weather and bring lots of color to any garden or backyard.  They come up in early spring after species like snowdrops and crocuses are already spent.
