About the Low-Denomination Flowers Series: The series began in 2024 with five stamp designs in the following denominations: 1¢, 2¢, 3¢, 5¢, and 10¢. Each 2024 stamp pictures a different flower grown and photographed by Harold Davis of Berkeley California.
History the stamp represents: Tulips are native to Central Asia but became so popular that they can now be found all over the world. They are beautiful flowers that come in a wide range of colors and forms. Those with the most unusual color combinations and bloom shapes are some of the most sought-after varieties.
As tulips spread across the globe, a number of interesting stories about them emerged. In some countries, they are associated with magic and the supernatural. For example, it is said fairies use the flowers as cradles for their infants. One story tells of an old woman who lived alone in a cottage in the woods. She woke up in the middle of the night to sounds of singing and babies laughing. She looked outside, thinking the sounds were coming from her garden, but couldn’t see anything, and went back to bed. The next night, she heard the sounds again and decided to quietly investigate. Under the light of the Moon, she crept to her tulip bed and saw fairy mothers rocking their babies in her tulips. She left quietly so as not to disturb them.
The old woman never again cut her tulips to bring inside. She also forbade anyone else from touching them. Because of this, the flowers grew bigger and more beautiful and even began to bloom year-round. It’s fun to think fairies might be visiting our flower beds and blessing them with their magic at night!
