When I was given an old stock album recently a number of flower stamps were included.
The Mississippi state flower is the Magnolia shown on this stamp from 1967.
Two of the set of four stamps issued to commemorate the XI Botanical Congress of 1969, when the first full meeting of 6000 botanists was held in the USA, contained flowers.

| USA - Lady slipper and Franklinia alatamaha |
The lady slipper is the state flower of Minnesota; the Franklinia is a tree in the tea plant family, which looks rather like a wild rose that grows in the UK hedgerows.
