These stamps are genuine and valid to use as postage for current mailing. Be sure to use enough total postage to meet the current postal rate for the item you are mailing. Also good to use for scrapbooking or displaying in a small picture frame. It's a miniature work of art. About this stamp:A member of the orchid family, this perennial flower grows from six to fifteen inches tall. It can live over twenty years. In the past, its roots were used to treat nervousness, toothaches, and muscle spasms. The Ladyslipper must grow near a certain fungus found in the soil. Because the flower’s seeds don’t have an ample supply of nutrients, they rely on threads from the fungus for nourishment. When the ladyslipper has matured enough to produce its own food supply, the fungus then shares some of those nutrients.
