I just had a thought:
We see these bottled plants several times in the behind the scenes stuff of Mirkwood and here her face is like “Look at this guys, like, why are there bottled flowers?” And its funny right?
But what if these plants are from Doriath. They only grew in Doriath and now that Doriath is gone these plants are the only ones left. Thranduil and the other Sindarin elves saved them some how and now these ridiculous bottled flowers are the last things they have of their home.
Oh now I’ve made myself sad.
oh you elves and your hopeless obsession with the preservation of ephemeral beauty… it’s going to get you into trouble some day.
