Designed by Steve Hepburn, your coin celebrates the start of the high season for flower and garden festivals across Canada. A ground-level view of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill highlights a colourful array of tulips that are among the flowering symbols of spring in places such as Ottawa, Ontario, which hosts a world-famous tulip festival each May. The image is framed by stylized icons that represent popular outdoor activities and sights in Canada: (clockwise from top) Niagara Falls; a Christmas tree; arodeo; wine tasting; dog sledding; music festivals; cherry blossoms; maple syrup season; whale watching;tulips in bloom; coastal drives; and the aurora borealis.

Comment

Flowering does not begin at the same time across the country.
Canadians are subject to the whims of Mother Nature, who offers both early and late springs. Plant survival is governed by climate and geography. Canada has nine major plant hardiness zones, with zone 8 having the mildest climate and zone 0 the most arid. These are further divided into sub-zones, each of which is assigned a letter "a" or "b", the former indicating colder temperatures than the latter.
-Creating a tulip bed (like the one in this room) requires planning and lots of bulbs.
This flower is not native to Canada, but that doesn't stop it from flourishing in our gardens. For a spring bloom, plant the bulb (tip up) in the fall or early winter before the ground freezes. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

La floraison ne débute pas au même moment partout au pays.
Les Canadiens sont en effet soumis aux caprices de dame Nature, qui offre des printemps tantôt hâtifs, tantôt tardifs. La survie des plantes est d'ailleurs régie par le climat et la géographie. Le Canada compte neuf grandes zones de rusticité des plantes, la zone 8 ayant le climat le plus doux, et la zone 0 le plus aride. Celles-ci sont de plus divisées en sous-zones auxquelles on attribue la lettre « a » ou « b », la première indiquant des températures plus froides que la deuxième.
•L'aménagement d'un massif de tulipes (comme celui qui orne la pièce) nécessite de la planification et beaucoup de bulbes.
Cette fleur n'est pas une espèce indigène du Canada, ce qui ne l'empêche pas de s'épanouir dans nos jardins. Pour une floraison printanière, il faut planter le bulbe (la pointe vers le haut) à l'automne ou au début de l'hiver, avant que le sol ne gèle.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Canadian 3 Dollar Silver Tulipes Coin (2019) is that it features a unique floral design, showcasing a bouquet of tulips, which are not native to Canada, but have become a symbol of spring and new beginnings in the country. The coin's design also incorporates a special technique called "proof-like" finish, which gives the coin a frosted appearance, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
