Tulips Forever First Class Postage Stamps

Overlapping tulips in red, orange, yellow, purple and white, layered until the individual flowers start to dissolve into one another. Tulips began as a wildflower in central Asia and have been cultivated for centuries since, to the point where there is now a variety for practically any occasion - which is roughly the argument this stamp makes. It was issued in 2022, when the one-ounce rate was 60¢.

That gap is the useful part. As a Forever stamp it is worth whatever a one-ounce letter costs today, currently 82¢, not the 60¢ it was printed at. It suits mail that wants color without a specific message: birthday cards, get-well notes, spring correspondence, wedding and anniversary mail, thank-you cards after a visit. Garden clubs and florists use them on their own correspondence for obvious reasons. Sheets of 20, and the palette is brighter than the older Vintage Tulip issue if you are choosing between the two.
