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: While most of us associate tulips with the Netherlands, did you know they were first a symbol of the Ottoman Empire (now Turkey)? In fact, every year, a tulip festival is held in Istanbul (its largest city) to show off the beautiful flowers.
The Istanbul Tulip Festival is held every spring at Emrigan Park, one of the largest public parks in the city. The park takes up approximately 117 acres and is surrounded by high walls. It is home to three historic wooden pavilions, two decorative ponds, and over 120 different species of plants.
In the 1960s, a specialty garden was added to Emirgan Park in hopes of rekindling Istanbul’s tradition of cultivating tulips. Its first international tulip festival was held in 2005. The city also began planting tulips elsewhere outside the park including squares, avenues, and even traffic circles.
The month-long Istanbul Tulip Festival is held every April. There are over 30 million tulips planted around the city, with daffodils, grape hyacinths, and pansies planted alongside them to add to the beauty of the flower displays. In addition to the blooms themselves, tulips are also commonly used in carpet, tile, ceramic, and fabric designs around Istanbul. It is a fitting way of honoring Turkey’s centuries of tulip cultivation.
