This is the entrance (or exit) to the "herb garden" at Dow Gardens in Midland, Michigan.

Dow Gardens has "themed areas" as components of the landscape architecture in the sprawling former home of the Dow family (of Dow Chemical fame).

It is really hard to find butterfly here in Adelaide, perhaps Australia~ even it is spring time now, but most of the time I only saw this cabbage moth.... :-(

澳大利亚的自然生态并不那么好. 虽然现在是出于春天状态，可是想找一只蝴蝶拍一拍都非常困难; 通常就只有这些飞蛾。

Two common whites. The Cabbage White and the Western White are very common here. I posted them in a row so the differences can easliy be seen.

Now I may not know the names of the flowers in my chaotic garden, but I know a Cabbage White butterfly when I see one. Any day now caterpillars will appear in my garden, and I'll know them too.

Spotted this Cabbage White Butterfly at the Laking Garden in the Royal Botanical Gardens, Burlington, Ontario.

“But always, to her, red and green cabbages were to be jade and burgundy, chrysoprase and prophyry. Life has no weapons against a woman like that.”

Thanks for taking a look!

This cabbage head was small to begin with. After removing the outer leaves to make stuffed cabbage, the hard core was also removed. Now it is ready to fine-slice for coleslaw. It’s a small amount of coleslaw.

At that point I realized it had a heart shape😍 So I cropped the photo a bit to fit within the Macro Mondays guidelines.
