We did it!! Friday morning at school I was greeted by a butterfly home full of flutterings, then this morning the chrysalises revealed their emerging treasures to the Smalls. Much excitement v. early. 
They were extremely difficult to photograph being so slim that I couldn't get the camera to focus on them. They made it easier when they crawled on to the Smalls as they stretched their wings for their first flight.
What an amazing moment to share.
They are as suspected cabbage (large) white pieris brassicae. 
They flew a little and landed right back where they had hatched from their eggs. Poor old nasturtium.

More new life - this old world velvety rose appeared on the bush that I thought wasn't going to flower this year. Its scent is what I would call 'real rose'!
Progress continues on the lopi:
