Sunday Stamps II - 43

Canada
issued 2009
designed by Isabelle Toussaint.

Photographs of the rhododendrons were taken at an exhibition at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Research Centre in Kentville Nova Scotia. The flowers were in natural light with the "pastel green leaves reproduced digitally to soften the background – an effect carried onto the booklet and souvenir sheet.  275,000 souvenir sheets were printed, and 13,000,000 booklets (of 10 stamps) printed.

    I like how the mini sheet accentuates the big rhodie flowers.
