Why would the USPS put out a stamp with the Madonna and a flower—a carnation yet?

I could see the Madonna of the INCARNATION. That makes plenty of sense. But then I’m just a Papist.

I just pulled off a press release from the news wires, read it, formed my question. The title of the stamp comes from the PR: “The Madonna of the Carnation”
