Awakening in Stuyvesant Square Park: Flowers & Bees in Morning Sun
Late winter warmth sparks life in the park—bees buzz and bulbs bloom under John Eng’s lens.
SPNA Volunteer Photographer John Eng captures the quiet magic of Stuyvesant Square as winter loosens its grip. In this gallery, newly sprouted Crocus tommasinianus—commonly called Tommies or woodland crocus—carpet the thawing soil in shades of lavender to reddish-purple, while early bees gather pollen from their delicate blooms. Each image celebrates the delicate resilience of nature, revealing the park’s early-season awakening in intimate, sunlit detail.
