The stamp’s floral artwork gives the design a fresh, garden-inspired look, while the black intaglio text identifies the denomination, country, and flower name. Issued on May 15, 1993, in Spokane, Washington, the Spring Garden Flowers stamps were released at the 55th annual Spokane Lilac Festival and International Lilac Society Convention. The series reflected public interest in bright, attractive floral stamps and became the first in a group of seasonal garden flower booklets. The stamp artwork was created by Ned Seidler and engraved by Richard Everett of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2882\" data-start=\"2247\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2270\" data-start=\"2247\"\u003eFLOWER DESCRIPTION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lilacs are beloved flowering shrubs known for their fragrant, clustered blossoms, which commonly appear in shades of lilac, mauve, purple, and white. Common lilac, or \u003cem data-end=\"2456\" data-start=\"2438\"\u003eSyringa vulgaris\u003c\/em\u003e, is native to the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe, where it grows on rocky hillsides. The plant is widely cultivated in gardens and parks throughout temperate regions, especially for its sweet spring fragrance and ornamental flower panicles. Lilacs are deciduous shrubs or small trees with heart-shaped green leaves, and their blossoms have long been associated with springtime, memory, renewal, and nostalgic beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3371\" data-start=\"2884\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2927\" data-start=\"2884\"\u003eSTAMP MEANING \u0026amp; SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lilacs are often associated with renewal, tenderness, memory, and the emotional beauty of spring. Their fragrant blossoms can symbolize first love, fresh beginnings, and the gentle return of warmth after winter. On mail, the lilac stamp brings a soft, romantic, and heartfelt quality, making it especially meaningful for wedding correspondence, spring celebrations, notes of remembrance, and messages filled with affection, gratitude, or hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"4007\" data-start=\"3373\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"3398\" data-start=\"3373\"\u003eSTAMP SERIES HISTORY:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Spring Garden Flowers booklet was issued on May 15, 1993, in Spokane, Washington, at the Spokane Lilac Festival and International Lilac Society Convention. The booklet included five 29-cent garden flower stamps: hyacinth, daffodil, tulip, iris, and lilac. The artwork was created by Ned Seidler, who used photographs and flower books as inspiration and worked in watercolor and gouache. Richard Everett of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing engraved the designs. The Spring Garden Flowers booklet began a seasonal flower booklet concept that continued with later summer, fall, and winter flower issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pasted=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGUMMED STAMPS:\u003c\/strong\u003e These postage stamps have a traditional moisture-activated gum on the back.
