The Ladybug and the Tulip 
The tulip is a true sign of spring. Its distinctive, bell-shaped bloom captures precious rainwater and is a safe haven that naturally shelters the ladybug, a welcome garden guest.  

Every spring, tulips from Holland bloom in Canada's capital, which is the home of the world's largest tulip festival. Not only are the flowers a telltale sign of spring, they are the symbol of friendship between nations. In 1945–46, Holland presented over 100,000 prized tulip bulbs to Canada in thanks for Canada welcoming Holland's crown princess and her daughters in 1940, and for Canadian soldiers' efforts to liberate Holland during the Second World War.
