X, for me, is the hardest letter of the alphabet in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. I think all of us A to Zers struggle with this letter. I've used this particular X word (xanthic) too many times but it is perfect for spring. There are so many yellow flowers associated with spring where I live: tulips. Daffodils. Forsythia. And even more.
So, I'm revisiting the topic of Xanthic. Or, in plainer language, Yellow, especially related to flowers.
The dictionary defines xanthic as yellow, or yellow-like. That works for me, because I have lots of yellow flowers to show you from this spring. Some are still blooming.

Tulips, neighborhood, April 22. I like photographing them from above to get the interior in the picture.
X day in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Now off to see how others conquered X.
I had no idea that "xanthic" means yellow. After I admire your flowers for a second time, I will be checking if xantham gum is related. I always figured it was some weird corporate coinage, but now I am intrigued!
ReplyDeleteLove the flower pictures!

,,,thanks, xanthic is a fabulous X word.
ReplyDeletePerfect! Your flowers are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI learned a new word today :), never heard of it. Yes, it is perfect for spring.
ReplyDeleteYes, X is often the hardest. I've used xanthic in 2024!
ReplyDeleteWe all cheat on X day. But this is not a cheat. Just because you've used it before doesn't mean you can't use it again.
ReplyDeleteYou've shown us some lovely xanthic here.
ReplyDeleteIt has been fun today going around to participating blog sites and seeing what everyone has come up with for X.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Beautiful flowers, Alana!

I do love the yellow flowers of spring, especially daffodils, forsythia, and primroses.
