Love Flourishes Forever First Class Postage Stamps

The stamp art features a fanciful garden of colorful flowers surrounding the word “Love” written in cursive script.   On January 18, 2018, in Phoenix, AZ, the Post Service issued the Love Flourishes First-Class Mail stamp (Forever) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 564700). Love Flourishes is the latest stamp in the popular Love series.   The stamp art features a fanciful garden of colorful flowers surrounding the word “Love” written in cursive script. Hand-painted with gouache on paper by artist Anna Bond, the original art is whimsical and vibrant, at once retro and timeless. The flower garden includes stylized roses, peonies, and dahlias in pink, coral, and yellow, with pale blue-green berries and gold fronds and leaves. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamp.
