ladies, various fritillaries, holly blue, orange tip, a selection of
browns (not Gordon), tortoiseshells, baggage whites, etc.

And I savaged the buddleia to make way for the workshop - though it will
grow back behind it and tower over the top by next year.

Still, plenty of other (mainly wild) flowers round about.

I've had lots of Peacocks and Cabbage Whites on my buddliea here in Berkshire.

The cabbage whites have left load nasty green and black catterpillers all over my broccoli. Do you want them?
