Can you find a picture of one like it?
I don't like the sound of green flowers because,
Leaves are green, stems are green and grass is green,
So green flowers just don't seem normal?
That's the spirit! We'll get along fine..... just watch out for the sweet peas.

Can't say I'm particularly fond of green flowers but absolutely love white flowers with green throats, eyes or accents, there's just something about them that turns my crank :).

There's a green zinnia that isn't too bad, but as a rule I don't like green flowers. A few in a mixed bouquet wouldn't be too bad. Green orchid? no thank you. I think flowers should be pink, red, lavender, yellow or orange. Maybe blue. White's OK, too.
When I was a kid of 10 or so, roaming the woods, I found a green flower growing wild. I didn't know what it was, and that was way before cell phone cameras and google, so I will never know what it was. It looked vaguely like bells of Ireland, if I remember correctly.

I am a lame flower arranger - no real skill.

Shortcuts, fool-proof formulas are what I need if'n I'm making a bokay. Having both spike and face flowers, having a mix of species and wide range of colors, and having some white flowers -- that is a good formula for an arrangement.

Oh, you want them of somewhat variable stem lengths.
