Green is the colour of spring! :flower2:

Fresh and lively bright greens are continuing their popularity with gardeners, a trend that began a couple of years ago. At last years Canada Blooms, green, especially lime green, was the basis for many arrangements, often punched up with shades of purple. The effect was stunning! :)

Here are a few recommended plants to consider if you're looking for a shot of spring green, all season long. :)

Love that hydrangea! The others are too limey for me....and I feel like they have a vitamin deficiency!

Oooh, that hydrangea certainly is lovely!

I might try the greens and purples this year...got some new pots I;m excited about using.

A vitamin deficiency, Gina?? They look a little like DIS Buds! :)

The hydrangea is gorgeous, and you see quite a few floral arrangements with their green blooms. :) I think it gives them a sophisticated look. :)

:flower: I love the hyndrangea! Wish I could get one to bloom.
The Hosta looks like it needs some miracle grow to me. Not one for limey green plants... Buds yes :bounce: I like green green with purple looks lively and fun:cool1:

I noticed the orchid show at the NY botanical garden did yellow and purple orchids, now that looked hot :smooth:
