Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Maybe each answer is connected to a colour of the rainbow?

RED: Red hair for Russandol.
YELLOW: The Iris?
PURPLE: Nori's hood.
GREEN: Neldoreth, because it's a forest?
ORANGE: The Orange Free State, South Africa (given G55's inspired and clever guess downthread).

That leaves:

BLUE
INDIGO

since purple = violet.

There is one blue flower: MENELLUIN.

From Tolkien Gateway:

"Idril Celebrindal's device, depicting a menelluin
menelluin is the Elvish name for "cornflower".
It was the emblem of Idril Celebrindal, is stated to be an inlaid plaque saved from Gondolin and descending through Eärendil and his son Elros and influenced Númenórean circular designs. The Emblem was taken to Gondor by Elendil."

I can't get the flower or Idril to fit either of the remaining clues, though. (I say either, because I presume (South) Africa is right).
