xanthophyll brings change during my fav’rite season- exquisite autumn! joining others at ABC WEDNESDAY created by Mrs. Nesbitt maintained by the ever faithful Roger and hosted this week by Joy Information found at- http://en.mimi.hu/biology/xanthophyll.html Xanthophyll (originally phylloxanthin) is the yellow pigment found in the leaves of most plants. It is involved in photosynthesis along with green chlorophyll, which typically covers up the yellow except in autumn. Hoosier Quote: “No town can fail of beauty, though its walks be gutters and its houses hovels, if venerable trees make a magnificent colonnade along its streets.” ~Henry Ward Beecher~
