Beautiful Mountain Flowers Featured on New U.S. Postal Service Stamps
ALPINE, Wyo., March 14, 2022 — With spring approaching, the U.S. Postal Service has issued new Forever stamps featuring mountain flora. These flowers will soon be springing up in a riot of beautiful blooms across their respective habitats, while the four new stamps will appear in Post Offices nationwide in the USA.
Each stamp features a different flower:
- A purple pasqueflower
- An orange-red wood lily
- A bright yellow alpine buttercup
- A dark pink Woods’ rose
The artist’s hand-drawn illustrations are refined digitally to create a block-print aesthetic.
An essential part of the natural world, wildflower habitats support species such as butterflies, bees, birds, and foraging mammals. Wildflowers grow in varied environments, including bogs and swamps, forests and woodlands, alpine meadows, mountain slopes, coastal bluffs, and deserts. As a result, some wildflowers are widely distributed across the United States, while others are specific to just a tiny area.
Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps with original art by Lili Arnold.
