Forever, First-Class Rate
Original authentic
The ceremony was held in conjunction with the AmeriStamp Expo at the Mesa Convention Center, where DiPeri was joined by 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 Cactus Flowers Forever stamp depicts the floral display of one of these ten cacti: Opuntia engelmannii, Rebutia minuscula, Echinocereus dasyacanthus, Echinocereus poselgeri, Echinocereus coccineus, Pelecyphora aselliformis, Parodia microsperma, Echinocactus horizonthalonius, Thelocactus heterochromus and Parodia scopa. Cacti also may have common names, with some varieties having several different names in popular use.
The stamps are being issued in booklets of 20. These stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. Within the booklet, each stamp design is featured twice. Art Director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps with existing photographs taken by John P. Schaefer.
Cactus flowers generally occur singly, although many separate blossoms might appear on a plant at the same time. Flowering occurs at different times of the year and even different times of the day or night. Most cactus flowers are large and flamboyant, with colors of white, red, pink, orange or yellow.

I read reviews that you could buy these cheaper at the actual post office, but my husband and I share a car so it's not worth the trip to save a few bucks. These came perfect, and they are beautiful! I bought two separate booklets instead of the bigger size because for some reason it was cheaper that way. Either way, love them!
Stamps are beautiful. I bought them for invitations. They will be perfect and match my cactus invitations and party theme! Delivery was fast and seller is generous! Many thanks!
Good quality. Fast shipping. Definitely would buy from this vendor again.
Purchased the Cactus Flowers of 20 Forever First Class Postage Stamps and they arrived in a timely manner with a personal note inside and I am very pleased with the stamps. They are in perfect condition. This is a small business and glad I supported them.
I mailed letters over the last year and they all made to their destination. If you need to go old school and you like flowers, check these out.
