2012 Cherry Blossom Centennial - Forever stamp

The 2012 USPS Cherry Blossom Centennial issue commemorates the 100th anniversary of Japan's gift of 3,000 cherry trees to Washington, D.C. in 1912.

Each panoramic stamp beautifully depicts the iconic Tidal Basin in full spring bloom — clouds of soft pink cherry blossoms framing the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial reflected in the shimmering blue water, with visitors strolling along the banks below.

Issued as Forever stamps, these are valid for first-class postage at any time. A breathtaking collectible for Washington D.C. admirers, spring enthusiasts, and stamp collectors.
