The event will take place at 11 a.m. Mountain Standard Time on Feb. 15 at the Mesa Convention Center, 263 N. Center St., in Mesa, Ariz.

Jacqueline Krage Strako, USPS chief customer and marketing officer, will serve as the dedicating official.

The nondenominated (55¢) Cactus Flowers forever stamps are being issued in a double-sided pane of 20, which the Postal Service identifies as a booklet.
