They are amost unfolded, the lovely beechen leaves.
Shire violets, Bree myrtle, beorn-bears-breeches, wilderland lilacs, Eowyn's wysteria, Frodo's bleeding hearts, and a handful of lingering poet's narcissus. Overall a lot of purple.
What is spring doing in your Tolkienish garden?
I wonder... What flower do you associate with your favorite characters? Or to put it another way-- what character do you associate with your favorite flowers?
Luthien is associated with Niphredil (snowdrops), this we know. And Arwen and Aragorn, with Elanor (this we know.) Also with the White Tree blooms.
What kind of flower do I think Amroth would most enjoy?
How about you-- favorite flowers for favorite characters?
