If you are not familiar with Carbon Canyon Regional Park everyone should check out the butterfly garden there. Go to the far east end of the parking lot, no long hike required. This morning I saw a party of cabbage whites, perhaps 15-20 of them. They were crazy for the electric blue sage. I figure that their host plant must be the mustard plants in the park.
Thanks for the suggestion. We have been there to walk the nature trail over to the redwood groves, but I haven't been there recently. I'll have to check it out.
It's the same way for me. I see the most Cabbage Whites during the Spring, when Brassica Plants are starting to bloom. They don't really come to my yard, but I see them all the time when I'm on the road. I have mustards that I have been grown from seed, for the pollinators in the Spring. I just have to get around to transferring them into the ground 😂
I see them every year in my garden in Ohio. I'm just a couple of miles from Lake Erie.

Thanks for the comment. Out of curiosity where are you located?
Did you live in Pleasant Hill? Also, they seem to like my Borage plants- in the NW
No. In Fullerton, Orange County, in So. Calif.
