Dutchman's breeches (Pelham Bay Park, Spring)
A member of the poppy family, Dutchman's Breeches are pollinated by the bumble bee. The flowers are known to grow in early spring before the leaves are out in order to absorb light. Part of an exploration with Parks Dept. chief naturalist Mike Feller.
About Our Art Prints
Signed art prints donated by three extraordinary artists are available for purchase in our art prints store, to support the programs we are engaged in. The prints include, among others, "Last Turn Your Turn" created by Robert Rauschenberg for the Earth Summit, Christo sketches of "The Gates,” a public art event by Christo and his wife Jeanne Claude that drew millions to Central Park, and "Manifest Destiny," by Alexis Rockman, showing New York City underwater in the future as a result of climate change.
