They make me think of those Purple Passion Plants. Ugh. I used to work with a woman who had one and she was a bit odd (the woman, though she
did have a 1st edition of LotR), and delighted in the fact that the luminous orange flowers on this plant smell of rotten, cheesy feet. They also have hairy, purple leaves and look quite sinister and Triffid-like. Thankfully the thing never flowered while I was working with her.
Like how Tolkien even has evil flowers though. It shows up just how evil really
has infused everything in Arda.
Still, even a Ringwraith must have to get flowers for the girlfriends from
somewhere.
