    Bogbean.

Morar, 01/06/85

~ " 'Toward the top of the stalks standeth a bush of feather-like flowers of a white colour, dasht over slightly with a wash of light carnation.'

A good description, but [John] Gerard fell short in his words of the combined delicacy of form and tint of Buckbean flowers, which might have defeated Gerard Manley Hopkins."Geoffrey Grigson, The Englishman's Flora
    A special treat for you - me taking the close-up of the bogbean.

Whaur's yer David Bellamy noo?

~ It is always a pleasure to come across these sunnily cheerful flowers, in the damp open places of the hill.
