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

Marsh marigold [Caltha palustris] Moruisg, 04/06/05 ~ It is always a pleasure to come across these sunnily cheerful flowers, in the damp open places of the hill.
