| + | === Evil cultivars: === | ||
| + | Iris 'Eye of Sauron' with "Medium steel violet blue standards, paler grey violet edge and veins up midrib; medium steel violet blue falls, ecru rim, large dark charcoal plum spot veined wide tan to white 2/3 of way out, white dart bisects spot at end of beard". [https://garden.org/plants/view/536988/Standard-Dwarf-Bearded-Iris-Iris-Eye-of-Sauron/ ] It actually looks quite nice! | ||
| + | |||
| + | === A bunch of hostas === | ||
| + | Someone else loves both Tolkien and hostas as much as I do - as a result there are many hybrids inspired by the Tolky oeuvre, such as: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * 'Gandalf' (medium green/yellow leaves, reg. 1999) | ||
| + | * 'Mithril'(medium green) | ||
| + | * 'My Precious' (Miniature, medium green/yellow) | ||
| + | * 'Shadowfax' (Yellow) | ||
| + | * 'Academy Celeborn' (blue/green, 2004) | ||
| + | * 'Academy Lothlórien' (yellow, 2004) | ||
| + | * 'Academy Mallorn' (medium green, 2003) | ||
| + | * 'Academy Weathertop' (medium green, 2000) | ||
| + | |||

| + | === A plethora of roses === | ||
| + | I just assume there are lots of roses with Tolkienish names. Because there are lots of named roses. Indeed, so many quirky and literary ones that I looked through a whole bunch of roses with references to Shakespeare, Hardy and Ellis Peters (Brother Cadfael), but nothing so far with Tolkien! | ||
| + | |||
| + | Oh well, there are candidates. Such as: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Rosa Fellowship ('Harwelcome'). Floribunda, orange flower. [[https://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/products/fellowship|davidaustinroses]] | ||
