All this just from my birthday?

I thought the same thing until I re-read my response and realised it sounds very Scorpio - my star sign. I suspect that's where the information came from.

[southendmd]

Thanks, Kerry.

So, Virgo translates into a Celtic pine tree.  "The virgin forest", perhaps?

Interesting that everyone so far has gotten a different result (my own, by the way, was pretty on target). Lynne, I must say I've had a soft spot for maples ever since I learned how important that tree was to the economy and culture of the fascinating Iroquois, or Haudenosaunee, peoples of North America--they even had an annual festival devoted to maple syrup.

Driving fears for Tolkien statue 
 
A Lord of the Rings sculpture planned for Birmingham is to be moved so it does not distract drivers.


The 20ft (6m) statue is being proposed by the great-nephew of JRR Tolkien who wrote the popular fantasy trilogy.

The sculpture by Tim Tolkien would depict the character Treebeard from the books and is planned for Moseley Green, close to where Tolkien grew up.

The Treebeard sculpture is
planned for Moseley Green

Mr Tolkien said it could be placed among trees instead of on the pavement so it is hidden from motorists.

JRR Tolkien was born in South Africa on 3 January, 1892 but moved with his family to Wake Green Road in Moseley at the age of three.

His great-nephew said a tribute to the author had been planned for a long time.


Moseley connections

"It has been part of a process I have been involved in for quite a few years," he said.

He said many options had been looked at but the sculpture of Treebeard was inspired by the idea that Moseley Green was once an open space.

"It is about bringing the forest or the green back into Moseley town," he added.

Another sculpture by Tim Tolkien, of a number of joined rings, can be seen in a nearby pub.


 

JRR Tolkien is said to have been
inspired by his childhood memories

The idea for a tribuite first came to light in the late 1990s when people living in Moseley said they would like to celebrate the area's connections with JRR Tolkien.

Tim Tolkien first put forward plans for the sculpture about one year ago.

The new plans for the statue will go before council planners following earlier objections from highways officials and other objections.

Last year a Birmingham nature reserve that is thought to have inspired parts of Tolkien's novels was renamed The Shire Country Park, after the place where hobbits dwell in Middle Earth.

It includes Moseley Bog, which dates back to the Bronze Age, and is thought to have inspired the "Old Forest" in the books.

Sarehole Mill, near the family home and now a museum, is viewed as being the "great mill" of The Shire.

The 96ft (29m) high Perrot's Folly and the nearby Waterworks Tower, in Edgbaston, are also seen by many as the real-life counterparts of the Two Towers of Gondor.

Interesting!  I really like the look of the Treebeard statue.
