Item Description:

This is The Official Birds and Flowers of Our Fifty States - First Day Cover Collection.

Since ancient times , nations have adopted birds & flowers as their official symbols. The practice spread to the United States in 1782 when, the adoption of the Great Seal, the bald eagle became the proud symbol of America. A century later, the tradition spread to the individual states. The Baltimore Oriole , placed under state protection in Maryland in 1882, was soon named the official state bird by general consent. In the early 1890's New York announced that it was adopting a state flower, the rose, based on a vote taken among the state's school children. Today all of America's fifty states have both an official state bird and state flower. Most have been designated by the state legislatures, voting on suggestions received from local organizations and individual constituents. Interestingly several states have adopted the same symbols. The cardinal for example, has been chosen as the official bird by seven states and the violet is the official flower of four states.

The Birds and Flower stamps were designed by the first father - son team ever to design a U.S. issue, Arthur and Alan Singer of Jericho, New York. The father , created the birds designs, and Alan contributed the flower designs. The First Day of Issue for the Official State Birds and Flowers stamps was April 14,1982, in Washington D.C.
