Enjoy a delicate still life with the new Poppies and Coneflowers stamp from the U.S. Postal Service.
The stamp features 10 flowers — 4 purple coneflowers and 6 white poppies — on a yellow-toned cream background. To create the image, photographer Harold Davis backlit the arrangement of flowers on a light box and combined multiple photographic exposures, resulting in a luminous, transparent look. The flowers were grown in his backyard in Berkeley, California.
The Poppies and Coneflowers stamp is being issued as a 10-cent definitive stamp and is offered in panes of 20 and coils of 10,000.
