Ents with flower crowns.
There are few things Ents do in haste. It is tradition after strong storms to gather all the fallen flowers—since it is a waste for them to wilt and fade so needlessly without one last use—and decorate themselves with them. The younger and less tree-like shepherds even go so far as to wind them into wreaths for the oldest who can no longer move.
thanks to @sharpestsatire for a challenging prompt and a new headcanon!

Of the Creation of the Ents
It seems that Tolkien himself is speaking through Yavanna, trying to remind us about the importance of trees. At the turn of the century, admirers of the English countryside were shocked and stressed by the scope of forests being cut. The sound of the axes’ blows constantly accompanied every working day. So, it must have been truly distressing to observe the diminishing number of trees. However, unlike Yavanna, these people could not count on the help of the Shepherds of the Trees.
