U.S. #4864
2014 49¢ Paperwhite
Winter Flowers

This stamp is part of a set of four winter flowers. Each stamp shows a close-up of the plant in full-blown.
 
Easy-to-grow paperwhites bring spring indoors months before the season arrives. Placing a few plants around the house also provides a strong, fresh scent similar to daffodils. Perhaps best of all, paperwhites bloom in mid-winter to drive the doldrums away.
 
When placed in a warm spot away from direct sunlight, flowers appear in about one month. But like the first wonderful day of spring, the blossoms must be savored immediately – the beauty of the flower is fleeting and the bulb will not reproduce.
 
Stamp artist William Low photographed potted plants at the peak of their blooming as the models for these stamps. He then created digital paintings of the flowers.
