Yay! Isn't there an Iris on one of those Hobbit family trees? I'm going to have a look right now!
Nope, no Iris, although there are many entries that are just "X daughters." Ach! How could I have missed "Marigold" Gamgee Cotton, Sam's sister! Marigolds are LOVELY little flowers and come in so many wonderful colors!
There's also "Celandine" Brandybuck and "Salvia" Brandybuck Bolger.

I never realised before you started doing this how many floral names Tolkien gave girl hobbits!
Makes me even more
that my 'Hobbit Name' came up as Ivy Grubb...

I like the ones that have a little bud in the composition. Are you drawing these from memory, RR, or real life, or other pictures?

I start with a layout from another pic or photo, Merry, and then go from there. The Rosie Cotton Rose was actually yellow in the pic.

Wow - you have been busy! I love the tulip especially.
I've never seen such a blue primrose before
. At least, I have seen those deep purply ones.

My neighbor had primroses that color last summer. It was my inspiration.

Lucky neighbor! I'd love to be able to grow primroses that color--I'm always looking for blue.
The tulip is pretty, too. Can't wait for spring! (More snow last night. . .)

When I go to my local Home Depot to pick out bedding plants in the summer, I am always amazed at the brilliant colors they have in the primroses...aqua...pink...purple...orange...yellow...
It is as if they spray paint them.

Sam would think they had a touch of Galadriel's special 'dust' in the soil!
