Green-hued flowers are the envy of Sacramento gardens

20.05.12

It's not easy being green in a world of rainbow hues.

Nature didn't intend flowers to look like leaves. So green flowers remain a garden curiosity.

That just makes them more special. When spotted in a bouquet or growing in a garden, green flowers attract our attention – regardless of the date.

Of course, today is St. Patrick's Day, when all things green turn lucky and evoke a bit of Irish romance or whimsy. Green flowers add that extra touch, no matter their national origin.

Florists annually get requests for St. Patrick's Day bouquets, which have evolved far beyond dyed carnations. For example, 1-800-FLOWERS offers more than 30 arrangements for the holiday. Paired with white, yellow or pastels, green also has become a popular floral color for weddings and other special occasions. With the demand come more options.

For spring bouquets and St. Patrick's Day, florists now can choose several green-hued flowers such as Chartreuse rosebuds, lime pompom mums and striking bells of Ireland.
