First Day City: There was no First Day of Issue Ceremony, but the First Day of Issue cancellations were from Guilford, Indiana, home to the United States’ largest importer of Dutch tulip bulbs – Breck’s.
About the Snowy Beauty set: A set of 10 stamps picturing different species of flower that bloom in late winter or early spring. Some are more southerly species, while others are found further north in the US. All are well-known and popular among gardeners.
History the stamp represents: Cultivated ranunculus are one of the most impressive varieties of cut flower. Like roses, they have many petals, which start out tightly packed, but fan out as the flower opens. They come in a wide range of colors from white or cream to yellow, apricot, pink, orange, red, and even burgundy. Ranunculus used to be fairly uncommon, but over time, more people discover them, making them more popular – especially for wedding bouquets.
Ranunculus can be grown throughout the United States, but it is only US Department of Agriculture zones 8-10 in which they come back yearly (perennial). Everywhere else, they must be grown in a greenhouse or replanted every year (annual). Interestingly, this does not mean these flowers cannot tolerate cold. In fact, they thrive in cooler climates – as long as winter temperatures stay above 25 ºF.
To grow ranunculus in northern climates, corms (a structure that stores food for the plant to regrow) are planted in late winter or early spring and will bloom between June and July. They can then be dug up, dried, stored in a cool, dry place, and planted again the following year. It takes a little bit of work, but it’s all worth it for the beautiful flowers you’ll get to enjoy.
