About the flowers that grow in ME:
Some of them are obviously found only there (in that category fall niphredil, mallorn, elanor, evermind, lissuin, mallos - if anybody would like to add to this list any I've omitted they're most welcome!).
As for the others, my speculation is: either they're the same as on this earth, or they are so similar to ours that they can be given an equivalent in English without being very far from the truth. After all Tokien gave the hobbit lasses common flower names. So can we say that ME had the same bontany as out earth?
