The cachet features a black-and-white pixelated/dot-matrix style artwork depicting a wildflower plant, framed in a square border, with 'Wildflowers of America' in script below and 'TECHNICAL•FDOI•9206' in block letters. The stamp is a USA 29-cent Harlequin Lupine from the 1992 Wildflowers of America series, depicting a colorful red, orange, and purple lupine spike on a dark background. Two circular machine cancellations read 'COLUMBUS, OH / JULY 24 / 1992 / 43216'. The cover includes a printed 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' slug on the right side and is in excellent condition.

This First Day Cover features a black-and-white pixelated cachet of a wildflower plant, framed in a square border, created by cachet maker Technical. The cover is franked with a vibrant 29-cent stamp depicting the Harlequin Lupine, showcasing its distinctive red, orange, and purple spike. The cover bears two circular postmarks from Columbus, Ohio, dated July 24, 1992, with one postmark canceling the stamp and the other placed near the cachet. The text 'Wildflowers of America' is printed beneath the cachet, and 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' is printed near the postmarks.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
