Amidst the marshy landscapes of Bavaria, Germany, Europe, in the crisp September air, the Grass of Parnassus (Parnassia palustris) blooms with ethereal beauty. Its delicate, star-shaped flowers, adorned with dewdrops, attract a ballet of enchanting pollinators - False Apollo, White Dragontail, and Clearwing Swallowtails. This rare marsh grass, also known as the Marsh Grass of Parnassus or Bog-Star, is a sight to behold. As Curtis' British Entomology Plate 79 illustrates, the Nectarium of the Crown Imperial 1 finds its allure in the Grass of Parnassus. Witnessing this autumnal spectacle in a marshy grassland is a reminder of nature's intricate and mesmerizing wonders.
