green-veined whites

There’s a patch of yellow flowers growing in a field near Ryhill that, from a distance, looks like dyer’s greenweed. The other day I parked up and went to check it out but it appears to be a variant of oilseed rape and nothing more. Whatever it is, it is very attractive to butterflies and there were quite a few orange tips and these green-veined whites enjoying the pollen, the spring sunshine and each other :¬)
