In a meadow, a cluster of the Senecio flowers, and feeding on one, a small butterfly with dusty orange wings flecked with black and lighter marking.

#Senecio triangularis, arrowleaf #groundsel, maybe Speyeria hydaspe butterfly

Grondeswigyle (Groundsel): A Poem in Alliterative Verse ... Though golden my crowns ‧ no king am I. / Common my race ‧ crowding like men / Unloved by them ‧ we live by risk ...

This poem was the winner of the 1986 Caedmon Prize for the best poem in the Old English style.

It's in riddle format, though the title gives the riddle away.
