Celebrate holidays with Poinsettia, a new Global Forever stamp from the U.S. Postal Service. This stamp mails a one-ounce letter to any country with First-Class Mail International service. Like all Global Forever Stamps, its postage value equals the price of a single-piece First-Class Mail International first-ounce machineable letter at use. Stamp art features an overhead photo of a poinsettia, capturing the green leaves, red bracts, and yellow flowers at the plant's center. The poinsettia Euphorbia pulcherrima is a small tropical tree native to Mexico, reaching over 10 feet in the wild. While we perceive the colored "petals" as flowers, they are modified leaves called bracts. The poinsettia's true flower is the cluster of small, yellow, cup-shaped structures at the leaf center.
