Talk:Celandine

Celandine is just a flower
There's actually 3 species of flower commonly called Celandine - 2, Greater Celandine and Celandine-poppy, are in the poppy family, while the remaining one, Lesser Celandine, is in the buttercup family. Greater and Lesser Celandine are both native to and common in Europe, and it's likely that Tolkien would have been familiar with them, given his fondness for gardening. (Indeed, a google image search for "Tolkien Gardening" yields an image of him standing in a garden over a plant that could well be celandine, though the resolution is far too low to be able to clearly identify the yellow flowers.) 24.69.201.248 08:05, October 15, 2016 (UTC)
