🌸 Wooster Square Blossom Blog — Herons, Florets & Harbor Chills 🌸
Another day, another blossom‑blessed stroll through World‑Famous, Historic Wooster Square — and another batch of photos for your petal‑loving pleasure.
We now have six Yellow‑Crowned Night Herons between two nests. They may be juveniles who returned with their parents and are still too young to mate, but they’re settling in like seasoned residents of our sweet square.
Today’s Sakura Surveillance shows the park fully in Stage 3 — Extension of Florets. A few ambitious juveniles are already pushing into Stage 4, stretching those peduncles like they’re ready for their close‑up. The day is bright, the buds are basking, and the blossoms are waking up with that slow, stubborn New England charm.
And speaking of New England — it’s wicked chilly in the park compared to just a couple blocks away. That’s the New Haven Harbor effect: a cool reminder that our blossoms aren’t quite ready to rush into peak poppage. Warmer temps are coming this week… just not today.
The ever‑diligent New Haven Parks Department is out tidying the park and even removing a tall, long‑dead tree — spring cleaning at its civic finest.
Take a look at photos from this morning, and stay tuned. Your Blossom Blogger will keep you updated as Wooster Square inches its way toward pink perfection.
