Simbelmynë

Simbelmynë

Flower of Rohan. Simbelmynë was a small white flower that blossomed throughout the year. It grew on land where the dead were buried, particularly upon the barrows of the Kings of Rohan. The flowers were said to grow thickest on the ninth mound in the first row, where Helm Hammerhand was buried.

Two flowers are named in "Unfinished Tales" that appear to be similar to - or possibly the same as simbelmyne. In Gondolin, Tuor saw white flowers called uilos or Evermind, that bloomed in all seasons. When Cirion and Eorl climbed Halifirien, the Hill of Awe, they saw white flowers called alfirin on the tomb of Elendil.
