The miniature sheet was issued on the 18th of April 1990 with a $2.50
surcharge added to assist the staging of the 1990 World Stamp Exhibition.
The sheet features five orchids - all native to New Zealand.
An
additional 12,000 imperforate sheets were printed which could only be
obtained by purchasing a $25 season ticket to the exhibition. These sheets
were officially issued on the 23rd of July although some packs were sold at
the annual philatelic exhibition in Palmerston North on the 2nd of July.
