Here's the best shot I could get of Cool Mint .
I like it ! Starts out very green and as it opens the edges get darker and the center stays creamy.

New Bloom and it's really Green!
Wow. I really love that one. I have one that is green and they are so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Jesse
I'm so glad you posted. That is a gorgeous bloom.
I have frozen in time. It is just coming into a second blooming from the time I purchased it. It appears that the green on the blooms is not as green as when I brought it home. Anyone know why? I'm sure it has to do with culture. Sure wish I knew what.
That is a beauty!! LOL I think I need a bigger house!! My wish list keeps growing with evryones beautiful pics..Lauri

It almost looks like Frozen in Time with purple blooms. Especially the leaves. My blooms went purple with too much light. I moved it to the end of the stand and the purple went away.
What ever it is, it's gorgeous.

oh wow that is beautifullllll
Woofens
i need that one to
Buckeye Irish Lace can go pretty high on Ebay sometimes !
Eunice you have Dmail.
Nice growing list there Janis ! I gave a lot of my greens away !
I rec'd Rainbow's Limelight leaves as a gift when buying leaves. just put them down a week or so ago so nothing to speak of yet, but I am hopeful.
I have Rainbow's Limelight and it is so pretty. And I think that all the rest of the green ones posted are pretty too.
Jesse
Rainbow's Limelight is a real pretty Av too !
Janis, that is an impressive list!!
I've got Irish Flirt, some new space babies (thanks, Allison!), 'Lil Bit 'O Irish' (so cute with its green & white variegation!), and a struggling leaf of 'Irish Laughter' that I hope will make babies. I don't seek out plants especially for the green on their blooms the way I seek out plants with girl foliage, LOL, but it's fun to have a couple of them!
April & Critter this is the only green I have, I actually bought it for the double white blom..lol I do love it's neat variegated foliage too.
I got way more than I bargined for in this plant. It's a beauty.
MsC
Jill, You have a couple I don't have LOL. I have a couple plantlets, and alot of leaves down, of my green ones. My favorite color is green, so I'm trying to get the green ones. You can put me on your list for babies of Irish Laughter (if it makes it ) and Lil bit of Irish, if you would please.
i have a couple with girl foliage, and I'm working on getting some more, but right now, green is my thing LOL
Janis
Does anyone have a picture of
Leprechaun's Frolic (5995) 06/17/1985 (S. Sorano) Double dark pink/green frilled edge. Dark green, ruffled/red back. Large
Jill did your Mini Minx make it ?
I had a ton of greenies but gave most of them away..
Oh my stars! They are all so beautiful...that Irish Lace is breathtaking!
TFS!

I fount one picture for Leprechaun's Frolic (5995) 06/17/1985 (S. Sorano) Double dark pink/green frilled edge. Dark green, ruffled/red back. Large
But the Green is not showing up. Last picture I saw had loads of green. Anyone have a picture please ?
Wish I did Allison, sounds really pretty!
Janis
Wow, what a memory, Allison! I didn't recall that 'Mini Minx' had green on the bloom; I was too excited about "double lavender" and "girl foliage!" Now I'll be looking forward all the more to seeing mine bloom....
Mini Minx (4056) 09/17/1980 (L. Egenites) Double lavender two-tone/green edge. Girl foliage. Miniature
BTW, almost all of my spring trade AVs made it. I did lose 'Little Limelight', and I have a one-leaf plantlet of 'Definitely Daryll' that's been just hanging in there, but everything else is doing great! And Allison's 'Lilian Sparkler' (or was it 'Midget Lilian' -- I have both from her, but they are on the top shelf, can't read the label!) that died back so on me has sprouted out a bunch of new leaves. Yay!
critter, I thought I was the only one having problems with Definitely Darryl. I have pampered that little thing and I have lost all of mine except for a tiny little one. Is DD a hard violet to grow? Has anyone else had a hard time growing DD?
Jesse
I don't think 'DD' is generally a problem child, but I haven't grown it before. I got a really little plantlet in a trade box (an extra from somebody who knew I really, really wanted it, so sent it even though it was tiny), and it was a bit wilted when it arrived. It went down in a plastic salad container (holes in top & bottom) along with several other little plantlets in similar shape. They all perked up beautifully in the extra humidity, but 'DD' lost nearly all its leaves. However, the one remaining little leaf looks just perfect, nice and crisp, so I haven't given up hope that it will sprout new leaves and end up doing fine!
Wow! I love the green flowers! Must have them all! Hubby is going to kill me!
