I don't consider myself a plant-a-holic, I am more a collector of fine botanical specimens.  And instead of an enabler, you are a scout who seeks out and finds these fine botanical specimens and shares their existence and location with others in order to help make all parts of the world more beautiful and better places.
Man can I pile it high or what!!

There are many. Common Plantain, a common garden weed, has them, and there's a new coneflower cultivar called 'Green Envy' that is, as its name suggests, green.

We're thinking of different cultivars; the 'Green Envy' I heard about was a darker green and didn't have those puffy mounds of petals.

I sort of want the green coneflower, but I think I'm going to annoy my mother a lot; she thinks it's bizarre.

Hide it where she cant see it .
It is very pretty, but reminds me too much of a sunflower gone bad.
PS dont mind me I am a sun flower worshiper.

What a coincidence, I had gone on trekking in the Himalayas (from India) and while on the trek I come across plants which had green flowers (star shaped). They looked so attractive though they were odorless. I could not take a photo as I lacked a camera at that time.
This was the first time I ever came across green color flowers.

I think the green flowers are awesome!! I guess the biggest thing to consider is how easy it would be to find green flowers and how much they would cost you. You could also look into silk flowers maybe? As far as how they look, I think they look gorgeous. Are you thinking of mixing them with any other color or just using green?

You can use google search to find out plants with green flowers...I found out many of them by doing that...
