The English particle “a” (“a flower”) is left out in Quenya.
     lótë     flower, a flower
Often “the” is left out, too.

The adjective usually goes before the noun. It isn't wrong to put it after the noun, but it could be confusing, since “noun adjective” could also be read “noun is adjective”
     ninquë lótë     (a) white flower
     lótë ninquë     (a) white flower, or “(The) flower is white”
