'If you tell the herbalists what I have said, I will describe the legendary Anarlossë to them and to you. The tale-telling may ease my troubled mind, and I would welcome it.'1/1
1 Speak toNethlas (Show dialog)
'I do not know what this Elf thinks he knows, but I have never heard his name before. How many tomes of herb-lore has he studied? Not only that! How many has he written? My master Galathir has written innumerable such tomes, and is a noted expert on countless subjects related to the many breeds and uses of every plant that grows upon this Middle-earth. All in Minas Tirith know of his expansive knowledge, and none would dare doubt its breadth or its accuracy!
'I will hear out this Elf, but only in order to reveal him for the charlatan he is. And you can tell him so!'1/1
'Edlothon and I did not travel as often once the Anarlossë died out. It was only one sign of the wounds Sauron inflicted upon Middle-earth, but it affected we two more personally than many others. I wonder if the Anarlossë grow still in the Undying Lands? Perhaps when I come there at last, I will find my brother smiling among them, eager to chastise me for delaying so long to see them. It is a happy thought, even if that is all.'1/1

'I beg your pardon and hope you will excuse me, but I could not help but overhear the telling of your friend's story. I am not very good with names, so I do not quite know what flower he was talking about, but it seems to me that it bears some resemblance to the humble sun-flower. They grow in the Shire, you know.'1/1

'That hobbit believes that some strain of Anarlossë still grows within the bounds of her land? Can it be true?'1/1
