Orange Crush

Above is a male Orange-tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines).
It is attracked to our garden because of the cuckoo flowers in bloom.

This one is the female.

All pics by my kenderman.

Cuckoo flower

The cuckoo flower (also known as meadow cress, lady's smock and Cardamine pratensis)

is blossoming!

It's always nice to see this small flower in our field again.

The flowers in our field are increasing every year.

 Thanks to the way my kenderman mows our grass.

Just a few times a year using an old scythe.

The orange tip butterfly (Anthocharis cardamines), here sitting on a garlic mustard

plant (Alliaria petiolata), loves the cuckoo flower as well.
