Writerly Wednesday AND Did You Know

 Greetings, Blogger Buds. What's your synonym, example, definition or sentence for:


 

Examples: After changing her diet and exercising regularly, Nicole had definitely become a sylph.

or

Her wings sparkling, the sylph flitted through the trees, there one minute, gone the next. 

AND

Did you know, spider plants are natural air purifiers? 

*Spoiler alert.  It takes a large amount to really make a difference, but my personal opinion is even one is a help.

 


Chlorophytum (Spider Plant) - A Natural Air Purifier

Sylph like I will never be. Love that spider plants are air purifiers - I think that most plants are.
Love that your latest release is being supported too.

Andrew said...

The closest I can think of is perhaps svelte.

Well, here I can flaunt my ornithological knowledge to good purpose. There are several species of hummingbird named Sylph. They are graceful and beautiful as you might imagine; quite like you, Sandra. As for Spider Plants being air purifiers, are not all plants? I was unaware that Spider Plants were notable for this ability.

Jamie Ghione said...

Once again, all new stuff to me ;)

Birgit said...

I wish I was a sylph but…nope, but I did dress up as one once but I looked like one that was kicked out of the sylph group.

Sandra Cox said...

EC, Agreed about all plants. Apparently, spider plants top the list. NASA even did a study of them. These plants remove formaldehyde.

Have fun hosting

Christine said...

I mean have fun being hosted by JQ

Adam said...

I definitely did not know that 🕸️ 🌿

No lo sabía te mando un beso.

I'll never be sylph but I'm glad I own three spider plants (also called airplane plants). Both are chlorophytum comosum.

J.Q. Rose said...

I always love hosting you on my Focused on Story blog. Sylph is a new word to me. Always love widening my horizons at your blog. Yes, I am entering the watercolor paint world. Maybe some day I will paint a Sylph with my watercolor art.

Jeanie said...

I will never be a sylph. Which is a good thing because I typed it twice before I finally spelled it right!

Susan Kane said...

Could I become a sylph? I would love to do that.

Blue Grumpster said...

Spider plants... They do? See, that I didn't know, Sandra. I hope you're doing fine.

Sandra Cox said...

Andrew, Thumbs up. Good word.

Sandra Cox said...

David, excellent info on hummers, as to be expected.
You charmer, you:)
True about all plants. The Spider Plants super power is removing formaldehyde.

Sandra Cox said...

Jamie, Your Wed/Thur factoids;)

Sandra Cox said...

You are so funny, Birgit. I'm sure you were a lovely sylph.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Christine;)

Sandra Cox said...

Adam, I say that regularly at your place:)

Sandra Cox said...

J.P. Sending you a hug.

Sandra Cox said...

Yay. Getting a spider plant is on the list. Good job on knowing its formal name.

Sandra Cox said...

Cuz, I appreciate it. I'm anxious to see your watercolor art, with or without the sylph:)

Sandra Cox said...

Jeanie, You're funny:) AND quite attractive the way you are.

Sandra Cox said...

PS You're purrfect the way you are.

Sandra Cox said...

No sylph could compete with you.

Sandra Cox said...

You betcha, Susan. You probably are already.

Sandra Cox said...

We are perking right along. Hope you are, Blue.
