The cachet features a black-and-white pixelated/stippled artwork depicting wildflowers with stems and leaves, rendered in a digital dot-matrix style. Below the artwork is the text 'Wildflowers of America' in italic script and 'TECHNICAL•FDOI•9206'. The stamp is the 29-cent USA 'Bluets' wildflower stamp showing blue flowers on a dark background. The pictorial cancellation features a sailing ship (referencing Columbus) with the date and location text.

Mistral

This First Day Cover features a black-and-white pixelated cachet of a wildflower on the left, with a 29-cent stamp depicting blue wildflowers (Bluets) on the upper right. The stamp is cancelled with a circular pictorial postmark featuring a sailing ship, commemorating the A.F.D.C.S. Convention in Columbus, Ohio, on July 24, 1992. The cachet text reads 'Wildflowers of America' and includes 'TECHNICAL FDOI 9206', indicating the cachet maker. The cover is in excellent condition, with clear and legible details.

(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
