The One Wiki to Rule Them All
This article is about the flower. For the hobbit, see Celandine Brandybuck.

Celandine were yellow flowers that grew in Beleriand. The elf-lord Glorfindel of Gondolin was said to be arrayed with celandine "as a field in spring". Whenever celandine bloomed during the spring, people would hold sad festivals in memory of Glorfindel.[1] It is presumed that the yellow flowers which grew on his mound were also celandine.
