AMERIPEX 86 Orchids Commemorative Stamps Poster 23”x35”

The United States Postal Service has long celebrated the richness of American culture, history, and nature through its commemorative stamp issues, often regarded as miniature works of art. Released in March 1984, the ‘Orchids’ stamp series is a beautiful example of this tradition, highlighting the elegance and diversity of orchid species native to the United States.

Each stamp, valued at 20 cents, features a distinct orchid in full bloom, appealing not only to philatelists but also to botanical enthusiasts. The series underscores the USPS’s commitment to both aesthetic excellence and educational outreach through its stamp programs.

This poster likely ties into AMERIPEX 86, a landmark international stamp exhibition held in Chicago, Illinois, from May 22 to June 1, 1986. The event was a major gathering for stamp collectors worldwide, featuring exhibits, dealers, and special stamp releases, including those honoring U.S. Presidents. Posters like this one were created to commemorate and promote the show and have since become collectible memorabilia for fans of postal history and natural beauty alike.
