The cachet features a black-and-white pixelated/digital art rendering of wildflowers in a square vignette, with 'Wildflowers of America' printed in italic script below, and 'TECHNICAL•FDO1•9206' in block letters beneath that. The stamp is the USA 29-cent 'Cup Cactus' (claret cup cactus) from the 1992 Wildflowers of America series, depicting a red-orange cactus flower against a dark background. The circular hand cancel reads 'COLUMBUS, JULY 24 1992 43216' and is somewhat sloppy/smeared. The cover is in good condition with no visible damage.
