Here is a picture of my first Green Envy bloom (minus 1 petal). It is not as Green as I expected . At least the center of the cone is green. It's not bad looking really, still a nice coneflower, just a pink one. I don't have high heat and humidity over here on the west coast so I haven't noticed that curled & missing petal issue.

Jon, I was wondering how 'Green' your Green Jewels are? The file photo on Daves looks quite green and a nice turned up petal habit. What do yours look like when they first open vs. aging? Do they start to turn down later? Would you consider it to be the best 'Green' variety available? Did you grow yours from seed or buy plants? Any sources you'd recommend?

Thanks, Diana
