Oh, I'm so glad to hear you say that, because I've had an idea for a while about their collaboration, sparked by thoughts of just how did the trees grow tall about Melian and Thingol while the rest of Middle-earth lay under the Sleep of Yavanna. I just haven't had the motivation to write it yet, so your comment has given it a boost! Thank you!

They make good allies, Yavanna and Ulmo, and fitting ones!

I can't remember right now whether they are showing interacting anywhere in canon but, with their continued interest in Middle-earth, it makes perfect sense.

They do seem an obvious collaborative pair, don't they? I've been researching Ulmo, and I haven't yet come across anything that puts them directly together. The closest I've yet seen it come is In The Beginning Of Days where the paragraph about Ulmo's power nourishing life even under the darkness of Melkor, is immediately followed by the paragraph describing Yavanna going at times to heal his hurts.

I agree with the other commenters that Yavanna and Ulmo working together is a great idea! I like that Yavanna initiated their collaboration, Ulmo might notice that something is not right but he maybe wouldn't realise what effects it has on the plants.
