and know of no flower by that name. Most of the plants in Tolkien's works are not fictional. I did a search but came up with nothing; however, the Star of Bethlehem could be to what he is referring. Often planted on graves and in graveyards. The flowers in the
PJ's film looked like these to me also. See Link to pic here: Star
of Bethlehem
Latin name: Ornithogalum umbellatum blooms in spring/ I have them in my
garden.
I am also reminded of a poem by Whittier

Of so divine a Loss
We enter but the Gain,
Indemnity for Loneliness
That such a Bliss has been.
