About the stamp design: Photographer Harold Davis combined a number of photos he had taken of Angel’s Trumpet to create the translucent effect shown on the stamp.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony took place during the Midwest Stamp Dealers Association WI/IL Stateline Show, held in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
History the stamp represents: Angel’s Trumpets, or Brugmansia, are large, pendulous flowers that hang like delicate lanterns from leafy branches. Native to the Andes mountains of South America, their blooms appear soft and dainty with creamy whites, pinks, and golds, but this gentle beauty conceals a powerful secret.
For centuries, indigenous peoples recognized Angel’s Trumpets as potent and sacred plants. The flowers’ sweet, evening fragrance and intoxicating properties made them central to ritual and spiritual practice. Shamans used them carefully in ceremonies to seek insight, communicate with spirits, or guide visions. At the same time, they were considered taboo, even dangerous. Every part of the plant — leaves, flowers, and roots — contains powerful alkaloids that can be toxic or fatal if handled improperly. This tension between elegance and danger gives the plant its lasting fascination, as the pendulous blooms sway in the twilight, inviting admiration while reminding observers of the power hidden in beauty.
The 2026 Angel’s Trumpets stamp celebrates this dual nature. Soft tones highlight the graceful curves of the flowers, capturing their luminous charm, while the composition hints at the plant’s mysterious strength. One can enjoy its visual beauty and the story it carries: a flower that enchants the senses and demands respect.
