   Jeremy Tatum writes:  This morning (September 16) I was looking at the flowers in the garden department of Canadian Tire at Hillside Shopping Mall on Hillside Avenue.  Among all the other plants was a small pot with a decorative cabbage in it, and a Cabbage White was ovipositing on it. I was tempted to buy the plant, but I had someone with me so I moved on.
