On this great spring holiday, I invite you to discover beautiful daylilies stamps and collectibles which will contribute to make your stamp collection blossom!

Without a doubt, Canada Post’s floral stamps series is definitely among the most popular ones. For this 7th issue, photographer Isabelle Toussaint shot these gorgeous daylilies at the Ottawa’s Experimental Farm, where all Canadian hybrids grow together in one area.

Canada 7th Floral Stamp Issue : Daylilies (Booklet of 10 Self-Adhesives Stamps)

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are native to Eurasia, including China, Korea and Japan. Their resistance to disease and pests, along with a level of hardiness that allows them to flourish in almost any soil type, under a variety of growing conditions, explains their popularity with gardeners and why they have been adopted widely.

The plant’s latin name comes from the Greek words hemera, meaning “day” and kalos, meaning “beautiful“. True to their name, individual flowers last a single day. However, since so many buds are produced at a time, the collective “flowerscape” remains in bloom for weeks.
