What is a First Day Cover?
A First Day Cover (FDC) is an envelope or card bearing a stamp which is cancelled on the day the stamp is initially placed on sale by the postal authorities. A FDC with the Lafayette stamp (A) is shown with a Charleston, SC, First Day Of Issue cancel (B) and a cachet (C), pronounced ka-shay, which tells us something about the stamp.
Where are stamps first sold?
In the United States the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) may designate one or more cities as "official" -- the location where the new stamp is first released to the public. The location is usually appropriate to the subject of the stamp. The 1985 Christmas stamp on the illustrated FDC was released in Nazareth, MI -- a city whose name is associated with the holiday When are FDCs prepared?
A specific day is selected for release of the new stamp, one which is usually significant to the subject -- such as the Franklin D. Roosevelt stamp issued on the 100th anniversary of his birth, shown here on a FDC. On the day following the First Day, the stamp is available virtually everywhere in the country.
How are stamps first released?
Generally a First Day Of Issue (FDOI) ceremony is sponsored by the Postal Service or an organization associated with the new stamp. It is a colorful and entertaining ceremony which enables collectors to attend to prepare special souvenirs. Programs such as the Motorcycle coil stamp folder illustrated are usually distributed free of charge.
What is the significance of the cachet?
The cachet enhances the cover by complementing the stamp and can be attractive, educational, humorous, and other things. There are many different cachets for each new stamp -- such as two Babe Ruth types shown.. The choice adds an exciting dimension to the hobby
How do I choose a cachet?
The designs come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. They may be printed, engraved, thermographed or produced by a variety of other methods. Some collectors make their own. One collecting challenge is to see how many different cachets can be found for a particular stamp
How do I obtain FDCs?
Collectors may buy envelopes and send them to the USPS for servicing (canceling). The instructions for doing this are in your local Post Office. Or the covers may be purchased ready made from stamp dealers
First Day Cover Collecting is...
a hands-on hobby, unlike stamp collecting, where the FDC collector actively participates. Collectors may make their own covers or collect covers in many dozens of different ways -- the result is a personal involvement that is extremely gratifying.

Orchid stamp collecting is an interesting adjunct to the hobby of orchid growing. Orchid stamps take up far less space than a collection of plants, and can withstand months, even years, of benign neglect. Collecting stamps is something that can be pursued no matter where you are in the world. Every country sells stamps. If you're traveling abroad, check the local post office for recent issues. Most cities have several stores catering to stamp collectors, and you can combine a visit to different shops with trips to orchid shows. For instance, there is a stamp shop in Richardson, Texas, within walking distance of the building where Dallas holds its annual show. Ask your friends to save any orchid stamps they may receive on their mail. All you need to collect orchid stamps is a keen interest, a stamp album, tongs (round or flat tip, rather than pointy tweezers), and perhaps some glassine envelopes (also useful for storing orchid pollen!).
You can collect individual stamps; panes (full sheets); "se-tenant" stamps (an attached pair, strip or block that differ in design, value, or surcharge); plate blocks (four stamps from the corner of a pane, including the printing plate # in the margin, or "selvage" of the pane); copyright blocks (containing the copyright number in the margin; the USPS began this in 1978); miniature sheets (a single stamp or a block surrounded by a margin); souvenir sheets (small sheet with a commemorative inscription); souvenir pages (with first-day-of-issue cancellations); commemorative panels (mint stamp mounted); or first-day covers (FDC).
A "cover" is merely an envelope that has been sent through the mail, while an FDC is an envelope with a new stamp and a cancellation mark showing the issue date. Often, FDC's are sold with decorative cachets. A cachet is a design on an envelope describing an event, most often designed for first day of issue. This is almost always on the left side front of the envelope, and sometimes it is accompanied by additional descriptive text on the back. Some of these cachets are lovely, particularly the "Colorano Silks", in which the stamp subject is stamped or woven onto a silky fabric and then attached to the envelope. There are over 300 current cachet designers.
One can also specialize, within the topic of orchid stamps, into specific genera, countries, or other themes, such as stamps represented endemic national flora, or those issued for World Orchid Conferences [here are links to images of a special cancellation from the 6th WOC held in Sydney, Australia in 1969; the five stamp set from the 13th WOC held in Auckland, New Zealand in 1990; and the four-stamp set for the 16th WOC held in Vancouver, Canada in 1999]. At left is a scan of a First Day Cover from the 4th World Orchid Conference held in Malaysia in 1963.
The first known orchid stamp was issued by Costa Rica in 1938. Since then, well over 3000 orchid stamps have been issued around the world. A few sample stamps that may be viewed on the world-wide web are listed toward the end of this article.
There have been only nine orchid stamps issued by the United States Postal Service (USPS), featuring five different native orchid species (three were repeated) and one featuring tropical (non-native) orchids. The first U.S. orchid stamp was issued on August 23, 1969, one of four stamps issued in a se-tenant block to commemorate the 11th International Botanical Congress in Seattle. This was a six-cent stamp featuring an engraving of Cypripedium reginae, the "Showy Lady's Slipper."
[ Plate Block, #1376-1379]
The next US orchid stamp (20-cent) was issued on April 14, 1982, as part of the "State Birds and Flowers" set, issued in a se-tenant pane of 50 . The only stamp of the fifty to feature an orchid was Minnesota, which boasts the Showy Lady Slipper (Cypripedium reginae)as its state flower (and the Common Loon as the state bird).
[Picture of Fleetwood cachet and FDC and another cachet and FDC with twin stamps and dbl cancellation]
Two years later, on March 5, 1984, a set of four (20-cent) stamps were issued as a se-tenant blocks in conjunction with the 11th World Orchid Conference in Miami. This "Native Orchids of North America" set included Arethusa bulbosa ("Wild Pink" or "Dragon's Mouth"), Calypso bulbosa ('Pacific Calypso" or "Fairy Slipper"), Cleistes divaricata ("Spreading Pogonia" or "Rosebud Orchid"), and Cypripedium calceolus ("Yellow Lady's Slipper").
[Described, but not pictured at: http://www.philately.com/usa_1981.htm ]
The next two stamps (29-cent) were part of the 1992 "American Wildflowers" set, issued as a se-tenant sheet of 50. The set features stylized drawings and is labeled with only the common names of the flowers. The two orchids are the "Yellow Lady's Slipper" (# 27; Cyp. calceolus) and the "Rosebud Orchid" (#24; Cleistes divaricata).
[Described, but not pictured, at: http://www.philately.com/usa_1991.htm
Six years later, on October 15, 1998, there was a stamp depicting orchids included in the set of four Christmas wreaths, issued in Christmas, MI. They were issued in a pane of 20 and in vending booklets of 15 and 20 (32-cent). The set includes the Chili Pepper wreath, the Victorian, the Evergreen, and the Tropical wreaths. The tropical wreath was designed by Micheale Thunin, of Berkeley, CA, and it comprises several types of tropical orchids and other flowers. The most noticeable orchids are the pink phalaenopsis in the six-o'clock position and the yellow cattleya with red lip at 2 o'clock. There also appear to be sprays of dendrobiums and possibly Arachnis or Renanthera hybrids. It is the first self-adhesive US orchid stamp. 1,787,500 were issued as part of the panes of 20; 29,190,000 as part of the vending booklet of 15, and 230,062,500 as part of the vending booklet of 20. That means that nearly 261 million of these orchid stamps went into circulation. Every orchid grower in the world should have one!
The most recent orchid stamp issued in the United States is a somewhat fuzzy depiction of a Cymbidium issued as part of a set of four flower stamps in January 2001, marking the rise of the first class letter rate to 34-cents. These stamps were issued in booklets of 20 stamps with no denomination marked on them.
There are considerably more stamps issued by countries other than the U.S; if you choose to delve into this activity, expect to be filling books with stamps from more exotic locales. The most recent issue that I'm aware of is a sheet of four stamps jointly issued by Australia and Singapore on August 6, 1998. The two stamps of native Australian species depict Dendrobium phalaenopsis and Phalaenopsis rosenstromii. The set is available for purchase at face value from the USPS through The Philatelic Catalog, a free, quarterly publication which lists all new U.S. issues and selected stamp issues from other countries. The USPS website is http://www.usps.gov
The government-sponsored mail bureaus of many other countries have detailed websites, some of which include online stamp archives, such as the British Royal Mail, at http://www.royalmail.co.uk/athome/
Books and Articles about Orchid Stamps:
(1) The most useful book for orchid stamp collectors at this time is "Orchids on Stamps," written by Peggy Alrich. It is offered by the American Topical Association as ATA Handbook 118 for .00. It's also available for purchase from the American Orchid Society. [Unfortunately, the author is not receiving any of the proceeds from its sale. - Ed.] Peggy Alrich is scheduled to speak at the July 2001 meeting of the Houston Orchid Society.
(2) A useful book that you may be interested in: "Orchid Stamp Collecting, Vol. I 1935-1981" written by H.S. Wilshaw and published in England in 1982. As far as I know, there were no further volumes.
(3) There is also a book written by the late Vale Eiji Miyoshi (d. 1991), titled "The World Orchid Stamps" and considered by many to be the best available at this time.
(4) One book which I have not seen, is "Die Welt Der Orchideen Auf Briefmarken [Orchids on Stamps]," written by Helmut Otto Schwab and Walter Stephan and published by H.L. Schwab Verlag in Frankfurt, 1975. It is presumably out-of-print.
(5) You may also want to visit the website, Topicals on Stamps, by Sarah Perelli-Minetti, and check the topic Flowers
(6) There have been many good articles published in the Australian Orchid Review, for instance, in March 1965 (Vol. 30, No. 1, pp. 18-21) by Alan G. Brown: "Orchids on Postage Stamps."
(7) Collecting Orchid Stamps, by Donna Russell, published in the Catoctin Orchid Society Newsletter, January 1996.

Stamp Printing There are some known technique of stamp printing:
Letterpress (typography)
A printing style in the form of thin alphabets, or picture lines or raster made of metal/ plastic positioned higher from its surface.
Alphabet or printing style made outside down (Mirror image) so on the time of printing, the paper’s surface will form the real alphabets. The principle is similar to rubber stamp which we know. Letterpress is a simple printing technique used to print stamp used during the revolution of independence in Indonesia.
Offset
Is a development of lithography technique or rock printing, only in the modern way. The material used on offset printing are pieces of paper, metal, or plastic.
The principle used is that water and fat (ink which contains fat) are against each other. Therefore the part which does not washed by ink will pull and sustain water droplets. By process of pressure, picture/writing is moved to other part of rubber material which called "blanket" and then the printing on the blanket is moved (at offset) to a space on paper which enters in between blanket and cylinder. Offset technique is commonly used nowadays to print stamp.
Intaglio
Italian for ; "inside a curve". Because in principle, the process of this printing is done because the paper is pressed on material of scratched metal printing, then filled by special thick ink. Intaglio technique needs high perfection because the metal which becomes the material of printing must be carved by hand in mirror image. Intaglio printing technique is usually used in security printing such as money. Indonesian stamp of President Soeharto issued on 11-3-1983 and National Heroes series (17 August 1999) printed in intaglio technique. This technique results in beautiful printing, sharp color, and if rubbed can be felt its roughness. In French intaglio is called "taille douce".
Rotogravure or photogravure
The term rotogravure is used in America and also Indonesia, while in European countries is known as "photogravure". A similar to intaglio technique, rotogravure is a kind of deep printing technique, but the curves on stamp is resulted from "etsa" technique. The curves are filled with liquid ink therefore this technique resulted in soft printed, at some places creating dots which known as "pearl effect" and sometimes in the form of fading colors. Most Indonesian stamp are printed in rotogravure technique or a mix of rotogravure and offset.
Embossing
Technically this is not printing processed which known in general, because there is no printing ink which need to be used in this techniques. Stamp that are made in this way, that is by pressing a printing on paper so the printing design can emerge to the surface and can be easily seen. Usually used in postal stationary.
