Perhaps Gandalf's or the hobbits' pipes were made of lilac: http://www.devonian.ualberta.ca/pwatch/lilac.htm "�Syringa' originates from the Greek �syrinx', meaning hollow stem. One of the first common names for Syringa vulgaris in English was �pipe tree', because the straight stems made excellent pipes. The stem was used by ancient Greek doctors to inject medications into their patients..."
The hemlock plant also has hollow stems . . .

God bless America, Land that I love! Stand beside her, and guide her Thru the night with a light from above. From the mountains, to the prairies, To the oceans, white with foam� God bless America! My home, sweet home.
