Orchids with Green Flowers
Green flowers are always a little surprising. They blend in with the leaves, but then there’s a glimpse of color, or a distinctive flower shape, and a blossom emerges into view. Of course, the vast, diverse orchid family has plenty of green flowers. This post shows just a few. Bright green, light green, yellowish green — no matter the shade, they are spectacular.
Some types are completely green; others include white, yellow, purple, red, or pink. I’ve seen many green Lady Slippers and Cymbidiums. There are Cattleya, Dendrobium, and Epidendrum varieties with green blooms. Many Zygos contain green, and some members of the Angraecum family have light green flowers. And there are a lot more.
Green blooms are unusual. Although it’s such a common color in nature, green isn’t typically associated with flowers. For orchids with a special surprise, think green.
