On April 2, 2020, in Crestwood, KY, the United States Postal Service® will issue the Garden Corsage stamp (Non-denominated priced at the 2-ounce rate) in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 585900). The stamp will go on sale nationwide on April 2, 2020, and must not be sold or canceled before the first day of issue.
The United States Postal Service introduces Garden Corsage, a new 2-ounce stamp for all of life’s special moments. This stamp can accommodate the weight of:
> Heavy invitations for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations;
> Oversize greeting cards for all occasions; and
> Mailing small gifts that require extra postage.
The stamp art features a photograph of a corsage containing a spray of peach roses and a pink ranunculus, accented with deep-pink heather and seeded eucalyptus. A cream-colored lace ribbon entwines the flowers. Garden Corsage is similar in design to the Contemporary Boutonniere Forever stamp, and the two form a natural pair. The corsage was arranged by floral designer Carol Caggiano and photographed by Renée Comet. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp.
