World Stamp Today:
FEBRUARY 21, 2020
The U.S. Postal Service celebrated the exotic beauty of Wild Orchids with 10 new stamps released on February 21, 2020.
Art director Ethel Kessler made the design while Jim Fowler did the photographs of the orchids.
Each stamp features a photograph of one of the following species: Cypripedium californicum, Hexalectris spicata, Cypripedium reginae, Spiranthes odorata, Triphora trianthophoros, Platanthera grandiflora, Cyrtopodium polyphyllum, Calopogon tuberosus, and Platanthera leucophaea.
Orchids are loved by both plant experts and casual flower lovers for their beautiful colors, unusual look and delicate features.
