Flower bond
Government bonds that when owned at the time of death are acceptable at par in payment of federal estate taxes.

flower bond
Any of a limited series of U.S. government bonds that may be used at par to pay federal estate taxes. The bond is unique because there is no minimum time for which it must be held; further, its holder does not have to wait until maturity to use it at par for paying the tax. Flower bonds have not been issued since 1971.
