'I can hardly believe it, ${PLAYER}! Can it be true that blooms of the Anarlossë have come to be preserved within the bounds of the Shire? I do not want my brother Edlothon to depart from Middle-earth without knowing if this be so. The thought that he could leave without knowing fills me with regret, and my remaining years will be a sorrow to think he sailed away believing every trace of the Anarlossë had vanished.

'You have the look of a determined ${RACE}, ${PLAYER}. Can I ask you to hurry after my brother's company, and to bring him word of these sun-flowers? I do not ask you to change his mind, merely to let him know that the flowers we loved in our younger days did not disappear as we believed, but can still be found in the world today. That will be enough for me, and for Edlothon my brother. His party of Elves planned to take the customary route of our people through the country of the green hills. Go to the Shire and look for them in the wooded hills above the road. And hurry! I said farewell to my brother not far from here, but that was yesterday and he will have covered much ground since then!'

Edlothon is in the Green Hill Country, travelling with a group of Elves headed to Mithlond, the Grey Havens, where they will depart Middle-earth and sail into the West.
