I love that green coneflower... and the green rose is definitely unique. Can't wait until I get home to tell hubby that I know of a few green flowers!
Thanks Toni!

I plan on having the green Coneflower and Zinnia in my garden next year. Might try the green rose but I am running out of room in the front garden so I might have to put that one just on the wish list.

I've got all green flowers and flowers with lots of green in them because I like them. We tried growing the green rose, but it only grew wild shots. I might try again some time.

This past year I saw a lovely green hydrangea that supposedly stayed green and didn't turn pink or blue.
