Country diary: bog bean adventures

New Forest: Janet Elizabeth Case braved treacherous sink holes and snagging briars to see these enchanting flowers 80 years ago

Fascinated by JEC's account of her search for the bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliata) in a Country diary dated 5 June 1933 (I'd come across it in the slim grey selection of her diaries published posthumously in 1939), we tried last year to relive the adventure.
