Part of the largest family of plants on Earth, orchids grow in many climates and thrive under various conditions.
These Forever stamps appeared in the American Orchid Society Library in the Fairchild Tropical Botanical Garden in Coral Gables, Florida.
Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps with photographs taken by James A. Fowler.
“Orchids can be hard to find in a natural setting, and today there is a conservation effort to preserve these beautiful flowers,” said Jakki Krage Strako, chief customer and marketing officer and executive vice president of U.S. Postal Service, who served as the event’s dedicating official. “Each stamp represents a masterpiece of nature that blossoms with color. They also continue the Postal Service tradition of showcasing the natural beauty of flowers on stamps.”
Joining Strako to dedicate the Wild Orchids Forever flower stamps were Georgia Tasker, author, horticulture writer and Pulitzer Prize finalist; Susan Wedegaertner, president American Orchid Society; photographer James A. Fowler; and Lawrence Zettler, director of the orchid recovery program, Illinois College.
Each stamp features a photograph of one of these nine species: Cypripedium californicum, Hexalectris spicata, Cypripedium reginae, Spiranthes odorata, Triphora trianthophoros, Platanthera grandiflora, Cyrtopodium polyphyllum, Calopogon tuberosus and Platanthera leucophaea. The booklet includes ten distinct stamp designs, with each design appearing twice for a total of twenty stamps. For instance, the Triphora tranthophoros appears on two stamp designs and the booklet cover.
The Wild Orchids stamps will also be available in coils of 3,000 and 10,000.
There are more than 30,000 species of wild orchids in the world. Unfortunately, many natives of North America are endangered or threatened, making sightings in their natural environment increasingly rare.
The Wild Orchids stamps are being issued as Forever stamps, which will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.
