I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to view, fave or comment on my photo. It is very much appreciated.
Hello Everyone,
I thought it might be nice to end the week with something a little splashy. Spiny Spiderflower is the name of this rather fancy backlit flower. I didn't notice the Cabbage White butterfly until I got home and saw it on the monitor. I always love this kind of surprise!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a fantastic day and weekend!

On our return from France, we found Autumn fully upon us in Amsterdam. But there was a bit of sun and the lake and wind were still warm enough for a swim. A bit of relaxing and then Olymp spied faithful Cabbage White on autumnal New York Aster.

Pieris rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae. It is known in Europe as the small white, in North America as the cabbage white or cabbage butterfly, on several continents as the small cabbage white, and in New Zealand simply as the white butterfly.
Cabbage whites, Pieris rapae, might be the most common butterfly in North America, for it uses both wild and cultivated mustards, including cabbage, broccoli and watercress for oviposition and larval feeding. This one is feeding on a wavy leaf thistle.

Cabbage White Butterfly
Pieris rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae. It is known in Europe as the small white, in North America as the cabbage white or cabbage butterfly, , on several continents as the small cabbage white, and in New Zealand simply as the white butterfly.
Although a common butterfly, you see less of these at RHS Hyde Hall (in my opinion), Rettendon, Essex. Here on this orange Rose he makes a welcome visitor.
Green-veined White - Pieris napi on Great willow herb.
Great willow herb is a large herb that flourishes on damp ground, such as wet grasslands, ditches, riversides and woodland clearings. Deep pink flowers appear on the top of hairy stems from July to August and its fluffy seeds are dispersed by the wind.
What is willow herb good for?
Medicinal use of Willow Herb:
The herb is antispasmodic, astringent, demulcent, emollient, hypnotic, laxative and tonic. It is used in the treatment of diarrhoea, mucous colitis and irritable bowel syndrome. The plant is used in Germany and Austria to treat prostate problems.
Can you eat great willow herb?
It's not the best food, but being so abundant can be very useful. In the Springtime the young shoots and leaves can be eaten raw, and as they get older need to be steamed or boiled for 10 minutes. Treat the shoots like asparagus. The root can be cooked as a vegetable, added to stews.
