The ceremony was held in conjunction with the AmeriStamp Expo at the Mesa Convention Center, where DiPeri was joined by William J. Gicker, the Postal Service’s acting director of Stamp Services, and Ken Schultz, executive director of the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ.
Each Cactus Flowers Forever stamp depicts the floral display of one of these ten cacti: Opuntia engelmannii, Rebutia minuscula, Echinocereus dasyacanthus, Echinocereus poselgeri, Echinocereus coccineus, Pelecyphora aselliformis, Parodia microsperma, Echinocactus horizonthalonius, Thelocactus heterochromus and Parodia scopa. Cacti also may have common names, with some varieties having several different names in popular use.
The stamps are being issued in booklets of 20. These stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price. Within the booklet, each stamp design is featured twice. Art Director Ethel Kessler designed the stamps with existing photographs taken by John P. Schaefer.
Cactus flowers generally occur singly, although many separate blossoms might appear on a plant at the same time. Flowering occurs at different times of the year and even different times of the day or night. Most cactus flowers are large and flamboyant, with colors of white, red, pink, orange or yellow.

As
Stamps were fine but I was not happy that it took over a week to be delivered.
I ordered the stamps to give as gifts to my friends and my sister. And they were very pleased with all the stamps. Thank you so much for having them available.
I do not wish to be contacted for this type of emails.
Excellent service
Beautiful stamps … will be ordering more
Love the stamps
Thank you. I received my stamps and am very pleased to have them. I prefer the floral for the letters I write. So thank you again.

Really nice looking and they arrived on time.
My stamps are beautiful and I’m glad that I purchased them through this website. I will purchase stamps through you again and I have forwarded your information to my friends.
Very nice looking flora with cactus blooms.
I love the availability of getting stamps at a less expensive rate.
Beautiful
Couldn’t ask for better service
The cactus flowers celebrate the beauty of the desert.
Good deal for the money.
The stamps are lovely; the delivery was the problem. The first time I ordered these stamps, instead of being left at my apartment door, the picture showed that they were left by the mailboxes by the street in a container where flyers are discarded. I never received the stamps, and I contacted the shipper and the stamp company with no resolution. I have liked all the stamps I've ordered in the past, so I tried again. I kept a look out for when they were supposed to arrive. My husband found them on the front lawn. I have no idea why they have stopped delivering them to my front door. I've never has problems in the past with deliveries to my door.
Very nice and colorful
