First Day City: 
The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held in Woodburn, Oregon, at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival, an annual event celebrating tulips and other elements of Dutch culture (such as wooden shoes).

About the Tulip Blossoms set:  According to the USPS, the set was issued to celebrate spring and the popularity of tulips across America.  Each of the 10 stamp designs pictures a close-up of a tulip from photographs by Denise Ippolito.  The flowers fill nearly the entire frame of each stamp.

History the stamp represents:  When it comes to flowers, Japan is most famous for its cherry and peach blossom trees.  However, did you know it also hosts an annual tulip festival?

Tonami Tulip Park is located in Toyama Prefecture in central Japan in the town of Tonami.  It has become one of the major producers of tulip bulbs in the country and hosts a spring festival every year that includes over three million tulips.  The displays include 300 varieties of the flower arranged in different ways.  It is the largest tulip festival in Japan.

One of the famous sights at Tonami tulip festival is the “Valley of Flowers,” which includes walls of tulips measuring over 13 feet high and 98 feet long, as well as a pond with hydroponic tulip beds.  Visitors can also get a bird’s eye view of the festival from special observation decks.

Because Tonami’s yearly tulip festival coincides with Golden Week (a national holiday in Japan), many workers are on vacation and choose to visit the event.  However, an interesting fact about Tonami Tulip Park is that the tulips bloom all year round.  No other place in the world can say that.  So, even if visitors to Tonami miss the official tulip festival, there are always plenty of tulips to enjoy no matter what time of year it is.
