GREEN flower?! I have to know, is there a true green flower?

Posted by admin in Green Energy.

I must know, is there really a green flower? one that does not start green then changes to another color, one that is a really a flower not a plant thing.

anyone know?!!!

I have been asking my bf for a green flower, he brought me a rose that is pale green, but i think its going to turn yellow.
if you know of one, please include the name for it, and possibly a link to a picture please and thanks in advance
Any ATTRACTIVE ones?

    several…
    Hellebore (various species) - Hellebore sp.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellebore
    Sun spurge - Euphorbia helioscopa

    Petty spurge - Euphorbia peplus
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphorbia_peplus
    Butcher's broom - Ruscus aculeatus
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butcher%27s_broom
    Asparagus - Asparagus officinalis

    Stinging nettle - Urtica dioica

    None of them are very impressive. The hellebore for example does not need to have colourful flowers to attract insects because it is pollinated only by snails.
    You are unlikely to find a green flower that is attractive which has not been created artificially. Pigment in flowers is part of their ploy to attract pollinators just as much as shape and pattern. If a plant has green flowers in most cases that means it isn't making any effort to attract pollinators.
