  • Add a delicate touch to your mail with the new Fringed Tulip stamp from the U.S. Postal Service®.

    The stamp features 1 purple flower and its frayed petal edges on a yellow-toned cream background. To create the image, photographer Harold Davis backlit the flower on a light box and combined multiple photographic exposures, resulting in a luminous, transparent look. The flower was grown in his backyard in Berkeley, California.

    The Fringed Tulip stamp is being issued as a 1-cent definitive stamp and is offered in panes of 20 and coils of 10,000.
