        I've only seen Cabbage Whites here but I've noticed today my Sedum's are beginning to colour up. Let's see if they attract the 'flutterbies'. :) I don't think this chilly whether is helping them either.

                            They've been kipping in the pill box for weeks. Think because it's cold and damp in there they thought it was still winter. Put them on a Budleia, but they just flew onto the hedge to sun themselves.
