Natural History Quiz
We need more quiz threads, but this is all I could come up with for now. Let's all study the Natural History (animal, mineral, vegetable) of Middle Earth and points West.
To start: Name and describe a flower that grows in Rohan. |
Simpelmynde the white starshaped little flower that grew on the graves of the kings - also called 'Everwhite' eller 'Oilos' (from memory - so may be miss spelled) because it grew all year.
|
Close enough, Telchar! Great memory. Your description is exactly right.
I have the names and spellings as Evermind and Simbelmynė from LOTR. And I see from The Silmarillion that those names would translate to Oiolossė - "ever-snow-white". Your turn! |
+ it was the same flower that grew on Fingolfins grave...
An easy one: Bregalad, the ent - which tree did he look like and what kind of tree did he have special care for? |
Was he an elm? (or was that beechbone?)
- Cirdan / Maglor68 |
He sang to the rowan trees, is that the answer?
|
Hmmm I cant find the discription of him reffering to any tree - as I thought I could [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] But I allways saw him as a birch or a beech - still Turambar gets it for remembering the rowan trees which loss he morned
|
Which character(s) in LotR take a rest in a stand of bay trees, and where?
|
Frodo and Samvise in Ithilien
|
Yep ! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
|
what is the first 'growing' thing that is mentioned in LOTR (not including the foreword and prologue) ?
|
I'll take a stab at this and say 'potatoes'
|
Oh Telchar, you devious Dwarf!
It was Bilbo's cousins! Quote:

Maltagaerion gets it because this is a 'Natural History Quiz' which I judge to concern 'the plant-kingdom' and I did have the Gaffers potatoes in mind.
Still Lostgaeriel came up with a very brilliant and creative answer - I like that too [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
Sorry for the delay guys, a massive load of overtime work was dumped on me hehe.
I'll give you guys an easy one: What did Sam plant in the Party Field? |
the seed of a mallorn tree which Galadriel gave him in Lothlorien
|
Kudos! your turn Eowyn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What's the "favoured" orcish mode of transport? *apologies if that's ambiguous*

The "favoured" orcish mode of transport related to Natural History??? Trampling growing things? Guessing.
