EXPLORE Worthy, Challenge 77 - ORANGE & RED (Art from 2016)

These pretty little butterflies are easy to spot as the males’ wings have bright orange tips – giving them their name! They are a common sight during spring and can be found in lots of places including meadows, woodland and hedges. The adults lay their eggs on special plants to ensure that their caterpillars have the right food to eat. Orange-tip caterpillars love garlic mustard, cuckooflower and hedge mustard plants.

The male orange-tip is unmistakeable: a white butterfly, half of its forewing is a bold orange, and it has light grey wingtips. The female is also white, but has grey-black wingtips, similar to the white butterflies. Both sexes show a mottled, 'mossy grey' pattern on the underside of their hindwings when at rest.

Enjoying the Spring flowers along a local brook (8358B).

Finally got one where we can see the orange crown.

I've been informed that this is asclepias tuberosa, or butterflyweed. Many thanks, Arthur.

And the subject of Marmalade. I went to jelly and was in a jam but I finally got stuck on this shot. It's very cruel for a diabetic to be this close to a favourite treat and not be able to have any!

Did you understand from my shot that they are not natural ones 😊🙏

Standard roses have pointed shape petals rotated around one center while Garden roses have ruffled petals swirling around different centers to form a rounded bloom🙏

Orange Hawkweed (Fox and Cubs). I just love this weed so much I actually introduced it into my garden “weed patch”. Reminds me of when I first saw it as a kid.
