          The U.S. Postal Service introduces Garden Corsage,a new two-ounce stamp for many of life's special moments. This
          contemporary, casual floral collection looks like it was just picked from the garden as a perfect accent for any occasion. Garden
          Corsage can accommodate the weight of heavy invitations for birthdays,weddings,anniversaries,and other celebrations;oversize
          greeting cards;and mailings such as small gifts that require extra postage.Garden Corsage is similar in design to the new
          Contemporary Boutonniere Forever@ stamp,and the two form a natural pair.
          The stamp art features a photograph of a Corsage containing a spray of peach roses and a pink ranunculus,accented with deep-
          pink heather and seeded eucalyptus,A cream-colored lace ribbon entwines the flowers.Organic is a preferred style for today's
          floral designs, and choosing these lovely materials creates a beautiful botanical presentation. The addition of the ribbon brings
          movement to the corsage and the perfect touch of femininity.
          The word “corsage” is French and originally meant the bodice of a dress. Women once wore flowers pinned to their dresses,and
          the little posies were called bouquet de corsage,shortened over time to “corsage.” Along with boutonnieres for men, corsages
          were fashionable for daily wear in earlier centuries, particularly during the 1700s and 1800s, but gradually they began to be worn
          mostly on formal occasions.
          Today Corsages are worn by mothers of the bride and groom at weddings and by honorees on Mother's Day birthdays.
          anniversaries,Easterproms,or any special occasion or event.
          Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp. The corsage was arranged by floral designer Carol Caggiano and photographed by
          Renee Comet.
          The words Two Ounce” on this stamp indicate its usage value.Like a Forever® stamp,this stamp will always be valid for the rate
