Phenology Test: Flowers and Butterflies

If the digital camera is working, you should see a few original nature photos, not ganked from Morguefile, below:

Bedstraw.

Thistles.

Two views of a butterfly. (Either stunned or dead, it was lying on the road with its wings ruffling in the breeze whenever anything passed by, so I was able to photograph both sides of the wing patterns...but I've not yet looked up its species name. Getting it to show up here has been my weekend project.)
