Under Orual's post of May 9 at 1:06 p.m., I've added a discussion of flowers for the party. Yes, that was not a misprint!

Actually, this was kind of interesting. I have a book from 1913 that gives the meanings of about 500 flowers. I am quite sure Tolkien would have been familiar with these meanings. Lobelia, for example, means "malevolence."

Needless to say, Cami did not choose that one for her bouquet.
