I'm sure all the scabious were pink last year. The insects are still loving life, and doing their best to coordinate with the flowers. This butterfly's a small white. The cabbage white was too busy over on the brassicas to comment. #GetOutside #mygarden #seasidegarden #butterfly #insects #wildlifegarden #happyplace #polyculture #permaculture #foodforests #bigbutterflycount #Devon
