          Issue Date: February 14, 2014 City: Little Rock, AR Printed By: Banknote Corporation of America for Sennett Security Products Printing Method: Lithographed Perforations: Serpentine Die Cut 11 Color: multicolored Winter's arrival signals a bloom of garden varieties across the United States, especially in cooler climates. In northern regions and higher elevations, snow blankets flower beds, creating an indoor haven during the long, dark days. Fortunately, nature has bestowed a variety of stunning flowering plants adaptable to indoor environments. Amaryllis, cyclamen, and paperwhites, grown from bulbs like their cousin, the daffodil, grace gardens. Perennial amaryllis offers a spectrum of colors, patterns, and blossom sizes, each a visual delight, though without fragrance. Cyclamen, sensitive to watering and temperature, blooms prolifically when emulating its native Mediterranean climate. Meanwhile, paperwhites, versatile and thriving in water alone, easily adapt to diverse containers. Originating from South America, the Christmas cactus stands resilient, passing through generations, living for decades. These winter flowers, dispelling the chill and gloom, serve as ideal holiday gifts, engaging family projects, and delightful treats for everyone.
