Where can I buy wildflower plants or seeds? Or any plant with green flowers?
I'm especially interested in bluets: English daisies (bellis perennis)--not the cultivated ones that I've seen in some catalogs and garden centers, but the little wild ones that grow in the grass in England and France; and white and yellow violets--not the violas that one mail order garden center sold me as violets.
As for green flowers, I have some but am interested in any except (at present) hydrangeas, which grow too big for my garden. I don't have much luck with getting "viridifloral" plants to come back after the first year.

Not to be a smart a$$, but violets are of the genus, "Viola" so that's why you got the plant(s) you received.
- First link is the definition reference.
Green flowering plant images:
- second link: Helleborus foetidus
- third link to purchase.
- fourth link: Green Flowering Tobacco nicotiana langsdorfii
- fifth link: to purchase
- sixth link: "bluets" image
these are the ones that grow in fields range in height from 2-4" and 1/2" across, pale blue to white with yellow centers - the common name is "Quaker Ladies" - or, - Hedyotis caerulea.
- seventh link: email link for availability, any questions you have, info you need and to order.
- eighth link is for more names of plants that have a green hue in the flowers, if you'd care to take a look.
Good luck to you!

start your seeds 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. i live in delaware and started some 2 wks ago. the rest will be this week. i don't recommend the roll away seeds. in my experience they don't work so well, the seeds don't always grow and the plants tended to seem weak/not sturdy. your best bet would be to get a few buffet tins and a packet, or few, of wild flower mix (or other flowers you want to grow) put about 2 inches of dirt in the tin. sew the seeds in "rows" as much as possible in the tins and water them. oh put a few drain holes in the bottom of the tins. keep them in warm sunny areas inside your house till the seedlings are several inches high. you can then transplant them in to the ground (after you have prepared the soil) if you don't want to use tins (cheap) you can buy the seed starter kits that they sell at walmart, kmart, lowes etc... i can also recommend seed swap sites for you to use via yahoo groups. i scored allllll but 2 packets of seeds via swapping sites.

I would go to rona, the home depot, home hardware or any popular and reputable plant store where all they do is sell plants.
