Manorial Satyr Hibiscus

Latin manōrium, dwelling — adjectival suffix -al, derived from manēre (to remain). As a color modifier, manorial implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-rural quality, the deep-rich color of pre-modern English manor-house livery-and-tapestry tradition. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to lordly and patrician.

Greek σάτυρος, half-goat-and-Dionysian-companion. As a color modifier, satyr implies a half-goat-and-Dionysian-revel-and-pastoral quality, the visual register of Hellenic-Satyr-and-Dionysian-revel hand-half-goat-and-Dionysian-revel-and-pastoral Hellenic-Satyr-and-Dionysian-revel-and-Pan-pipes satyr-and-half-goat-and-Dionysian-revel surfaces under Hellenic-Satyr-and-Dionysian-revel-and-Pan-pipes Bacchic-procession-and-vine-leaf-crown Dionysian-revel-light. Sits at the modifier-and-myth end of the grid, parallel to faun and nymph in usage.

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis — the showy mallow of Pacific gardens, the Hawaiian state flower, the source of the deep red sorrel tea sold across West Africa as bissap. The color refers to a fully open hibiscus petal at midday: a hot, slightly magenta red with the velvet texture of a single-day bloom. By evening the same flower has wilted; by morning it's gone.
