CampionA flowering plant of the coastlandsThere are numerous flowers and flowering plants known by the name 'campion', but our sole reference to the flower is in the abandoned city of Vinyamar, growing on the stone stairs there on the shores of the Great Sea. So, the variety of campion found in Vinyamar was probably sea campion, a plant that thrives in the rocky landscapes and salt air along sea shores. Sea campion grows in green mats, from which numerous small white flowers spring up. It was encountered in Vinyamar by Tuor, growing beside the taller pink flowers of thrift, as he climbed the stone steps that led to the hall of Turgon's old city by the Sea. Notes
