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

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.

Hellebore (various species) - Hellebore sp.

Sun spurge - Euphorbia helioscopa

Petty spurge - Euphorbia peplus

Butcher's broom - Ruscus aculeatus

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.
Reply:You can also add to the list a green Iris, and a green tulip as well as a Cucumber Magnolia that has green/white flowers.

Reply:There are green roses that are artificially grown to be that way not naturally. JMHO
Reply:Yes, as far as I can tell there are some orchids, aristolochia tomentosa, Euphorbia peplus, Helleborus lividus, etc etc. I am not a flower person, so I just looked up green flowers on google.
Reply:I have the green ice rose which is a pale green if kept in the shade. It will turn white with too much sun. Hellebore's produce green flowers and are also shade plants. Some Hydrangea produce green flowers as well, yet again, it prefers the shade. So, I would say, yes there are green flowers.





Here are pics of the Green Ice Rose (It's a minature rose):
