Do we have to guess a species? (As opposed to e.g. a forest or
'the hedge Sam was cutting.)

Thanks.
Actually -- I could only remember two different flowers west of the
mountains that are mentioned in LotR: the water-lilies and the hemlocks
mentioned in Aragorn's song about L�thien. Lots of trees, herbs etc.
but quite few flowers.
