This First Day Cover features a 1981 18-cent stamp depicting a pink and white Camellia flower. The cachet, designed by Jean Nicklin (JN Cachets), showcases a black-and-white woodcut-style illustration of roses with buds and leaves. The text 'Flowers: Mother Nature's Gift' is printed in decorative blackletter script at the top. The cover bears a circular machine postmark from Fort Valley, Georgia, dated April 23, 1981, with a clear 'First Day of Issue' inscription next to the stamp.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
