"Lovely to heart's enchantment is that land, Tuor... There Ulmo is but the servant of Yavanna, and the earth has brought to life a wealth of fair things. In that land Narog joins Sirion, and they haste no more, but flow broad and quiet through living meads; and all about the shining river are flaglilies like a blossoming forest, and the grass is filled with flowers, like gems, like bells, like flames red and gold, like a waste of many-coloured stars in a firmament of green. There I wandered, naming new flowers, or lay adream amid the singing of the birds." - Tolkien, Unfinished Tales
