2022 “Sunflower Bouquet” 2-ounce Forever Stamps 100pcs

On March 24, 2022, the USPS released the Sunflower Bouquet 2-ounce Forever stamp in Lawrence, Kansas. This stamp features a still-life image of several orange-and-yellow sunflowers intermingled with irises, dahlias, echinacea (coneflowers), and other small red, purple, white, and pink flowers against a white background. To create this image, the photographer backlit the arrangement of flowers on a light box and made eight photographic exposures, resulting in a luminous, transparent look.

As a 2-ounce stamp, Sunflower Bouquet can accommodate the weight of heavy invitations for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other celebrations; oversized greeting cards; and mailings such as small gifts that require extra postage. This stamp is similar in design to the Tulips Forever stamp, also issued in 2022, and the two form a natural pair.

Design: Still-life photograph of a bouquet featuring sunflowers, irises, dahlias, echinacea, and other small flowers.
