Canada Post has designed and is ready for issuing two great stamps to welcome spring. These special items feature brightly coloured dahlias – just in time for the wedding season and other bloom-worthy celebrations. One stamp shows a single dahlia bloom, and the other features three. Victorian couples gave each other dahlias as a symbol of commitment that is why they are often used for wedding floral arrangements.
Dahlia is considered as one of the most popular garden flowers because of its attractive toothed, green leaves and beautiful colorful flowers. They can be found in almost every colour of the rainbow, except blue. Dahlias symbolize elegance, inner strength, creativity, change, and dignity. They are also known to represent one who stands strong in his/her sacred values.
According to Carolyn Cutt, President of the Hamilton & District Chrysanthemum & Dahlia Society, “Canadian gardeners enjoy dahlias for their long-blooming, show-stopping appeal, and because they provide a nectar source for pollinators until winter.”
