The Postal Service held a special dedication ceremony for its Low Denomination Flowers stamps July 18 in Berkeley, CA.
The collection consists of five stamps:
• One-cent Fringed Tulip, featuring one purple fringed tulip;
• Two-cent Daffodils, featuring two yellow daffodil blossoms;
• Three-cent Peonies, featuring three red peonies;
• Five-cent Red Tulips, featuring five red tulip blossoms;
• 10-cent Poppies and Coneflowers, featuring an array of 10 blossoms — six white poppies and four purple coneflowers — with a touch of greenery.
Ethel Kessler, an art director for the Postal Service, designed the stamps using images by Harold Davis, who spoke at the ceremony at the Berkeley Post Office.
Other speakers were Berkeley Postmaster Katrina Scott and Mario Harris, Post Office operations managers for California 2 District.
Each Low Denomination Flowers stamp is available in panes of 20 and coils of 10,000 at Post Offices and usps.com.
