But the light of the sun & moon have already aged by that time & although indeed the gardens of Irmo are fair, I'd have to stick with Lothlorien for not only was it an undying paradise (so long as... |

I don't think the Lady Galadriel brought Mallorn to middle-earth for it was said that Gil-Galad had gave these to her (mallorn nuts), & it was actually derived from the Numenorians where only one... |
