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: The Canadian Tulip Festival is hosted by the city of Ottawa every May. Over 650,000 people attend the event each year, with more than three million tulips around the city.
Tulips arrived in Ottawa in 1945 when the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 bulbs as a thank you. Canada had sheltered future Queen Juliana and her family during the years of Nazi occupation of the Netherlands during World War II. When Princess Margriet was born in Ottawa Civic Hospital, Canada declared the maternity ward extraterritorial so the princess could have the same Dutch citizenship as her mother. After the first shipment of tulip bulbs in 1945, Queen Juliana sent an additional 20,500 to make a display for the hospital. She also said she would send 10,000 more bulbs every year after.
In 1953, the Ottawa Board of Trade inaugurated the first Canadian Tulip Festival. Queen Juliana of the Netherlands visited the festival in 1967 and Princess Margriet attended in 2002 for the event’s 50th anniversary. The country continues to send 20,000 bulbs to Canada every year – 10,000 from the royal family themselves and 10,000 from the Dutch Bulb Growers Association. With a total of over three million tulips planted around the city of Ottawa, it’s easy to enjoy the beautiful blooms anywhere you go.
