Xanthic: Of or pertaining to a yellow colour, or to one of those colours--except green--in which yellow is a constituent. For example, scarlet, orange, etc.
I have no idea where I took this photo. Perhaps in a public garden somewhere (nothing so glorious would grow in my garden). I love the colour.
What’s your favourite colour? (mine is purple)
Note: For the month of April during the A-Z Challenge I am pausing from my usual blogging theme of writing and social media tips. Instead I hope to share with you my photography. Much of it is inspired by the fabulous and helpful site, The Bookshelf Muse. Please check it out and enjoy.

Beautiful! I love vibrantly colored flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreat hibiscus photograph. In my teens, orange was my favorite color (and flavor.) Over the years my tastes changed and now green is my choice. Go figure! In hibiscus, though, red is the best color.

What a lovely photo! Pink is my favourite colour, but I'm particular as to the shade of pink: it has to be powder pink, like cotton candy, and not shocking fuchsia.
ReplyDeleteBut as the Hubster would say: pink is pink is pink. Men!

'(by the way mam'am i myself wore braces for 4 years ..;-),,,
Love your photo. Gorgeous flower. My favourite .'non' colour is white. Love white flowers too!
ReplyDeleteDenise
White is every colour... spin a colour wheel and see ;)
DeleteI'm rather fickle when it comes to favourite colour. At the moment it's green. Beautiful picture by the way!
ReplyDeletePink or red!! And this is a beautiful shot!! Yay! Take care

Very nice photo!
ReplyDeleteFavorite color? Black.
That is a great word. Love the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is black. ;D
Pretty Hibiscus. Pink/red are my colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture and X word. My daughter loved yellow when she was a baby. She collected things that were yellow and held onto them. She called them her "lellos."
ReplyDeleteLove the flower. My favourite colour is yellow! It's so happy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteI must be xanthically inclined, because deep garnet red is my favorite color.
I'm always dressed either in green (moss or pear green), dark violet or midnight blue :) I try never to wear or use black colour on me or around me.
ReplyDeleteI also love transparent things, especially in plates, glasses, kitchenware....
in the case of transparent things, I love them even more if they sparkle ;)
Deleteoh, yes, we do love sparkle and glitter everywhere ;)
Deletesee, I knew there was a reason I liked you :)
Delete(apart from all the other reasons, of course)
Lynda - Thanks for the great word - it's new to me! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOoh, a vocab lesson and a great photo. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI tell people my favorite color is burnt umber, but it's actually the not-quite-as-cool-sounding raw umber. Also, it turns out that umber is a type of fish, so my friends and I made up the color seared umber. True story.
lol, seared umber is cool.
DeleteI'm guessing you are an artist or know an artist because usually burnt and raw umber are best known in the painting world.
Green. I love all shades of green.
ReplyDeleteYellow and green are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteOrange and yellow are my zodiac colors and I adore them both!
ReplyDeleteMy bedroom was orange and yellow for sometime; I changed it this year to white and green.
The orange and yellow had such a healing effect on me!
Beautiful photo- Lynda!
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful picture, Lynda. I love the hibiscus. My favourite colors are purple, white, brown and pink.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Good shot, Lyn. :D
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. My favourite is blue - blue skies, blue seas, and blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! Funny that I should visit your blog today, because I'm posting on the color yellow for Y tomorrow. My favorite color... can I pick three? yellow, purple and green!
ReplyDeleteYour photo is splendid! There are hardy hibiscus that are easy--and astounding. "Copper King" gets pink flowers a foot across. It freezes back to the ground here in zone 5 (USA hardiness zone--that means it can survive to -20F or -29C).
ReplyDeleteInteresting post on the X. It is a fun read--exploring what others have discovered to blog about, using the X as a prompt. :-)
yikes! It never gets that cold here in Sydney, thank goodness ;)
DeleteNice word choice. That flower is superb.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always interesting.
Wow. Superb photo. It is glorious. Nothing like that would grow around here. We only have a 70 day growing season. :-O
ReplyDeleteI'm attracted to blues and greens most.
Mine is green, but that pic is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful and vibrant color! Love the picture. I thought what you will come up with X- yet I was not disappointed!
ReplyDeleteRiya
Gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colour changes with my mood - purple, blue, red, green... so many!
That picture is beautiful!! Interesting word as well. My favorite color is green, second favorite purple.
ReplyDeleteLynda, it is a beautiful photo! stunning! it would look tremendous framed :)
ReplyDeleteXanthic is such a cheery colour :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful photograph!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is green.

In one of my Athena stories, I named a nymph Xanthe. And yes, she was BLONDE.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever use of the letter X-- I have to admit- this was a challenging letter for Blogging A to Z. I like a lot of colors- it depends on my mood. I do like purple, especially soft lilac shades.
ReplyDeleteI like the texture with these beautiful petals of soft colors, very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely shoe-flower---saffron-colored, I think :)
ReplyDeleteXanthic. Learned something here. Pretty flower!
