April showers bring May flowers, the surest sign of spring in many parts of Canada. Crocuses, daffodils, and tulips are among the first to appear in our flowerbeds, gardens and urban spaces, where the many colours of the seasons may be viewed until the fall frost. The fifth coin in this series shows a Canada in bloom, featuring red and yellow tulips that symbolize the start of a fun-filled season of flower festivals and outdoor celebrations.
