| General Description : | Souvenir sheet of 2 stamps Gum Type: P.V.A. OFDC Cancellation Location: Kentville, Nova Scotia Early March is blooming season at Canada Post, and the clusters of vibrant bell-shaped flowers that blossom on this fresh stamp set are nothing short of spectacular. The blooms belong to the beautiful rhododendron. Though all rhododendrons share a reputation for fabulous flaring petals and deep evergreen leaves, much variation exists within the 700-specie genus to which they belong. In fact, though “rhododendron” is Greek for “red tree,” the blooms can also be found in magenta, purple, pink and white shades, often blotted with speckles and splashes of colour. Also available in booklet of 10 stamps, product #: 413730111 Gum Type: Pressure sensitive and simulated perforation. Quantity: 13,000,000 |
