Niphredil was a small white flower which grew in Doriath, and later in Lothlórien.
History[]
Niphredil first bloomed in the forest of Neldoreth in Doriath to greet fair Lúthien when she was born.[1] Together with the sun-star flower of Elanor, it also grew in Lothlórien on Cerin Amroth.[2] After the passing of King Elessar, Arwen laid herself to Cerin Amroth and died. Following this, niphredil and elanor were not present anymore in Middle-earth.[3]
Etymology[]
Niphredil is a Sindarin name meaning "Little pallor", from nipred ("pallor") and the ending il. The name may also mean "Snowdrop".[1]
