“The irises are especially beautiful this year,” said Éowyn proudly as she escorted the Queen around her garden in Ithilien. “Faramir had corms for some rare varieties sent from Harad.”

Arwen, though, seemed oblivious to the gaudy purple and yellow blooms. Her attention was caught by a patch of delicate flowers under the shade of a large oak. “I love these!” she exclaimed. “They are so pretty!”

“You prefer violets? But violets are as common as weeds. I only grow them for medicinal use.”

“They remind me of the flowers of my homeland,” said Arwen. “Small, hidden and most fair.”
