Since they dyed the river in Chicago green today for the St. Patrick's day parade, I thought I would post some green flowers which are not dyed but naturally green. This flower is sometimes called Lenten rose.

Kathy, because of the green flowers, it's the subspecies 'orientalis' of a 'Helleborus orientalis'.
Other subspecies are 'abchasius' (with purple pink/gray flowers) and 'guttatus' (red speckled white flowers).

Very proper choice for the 60th anniversary of the Chicago Patricks day parade today.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Very pretty green flowers - they somewhat resemble a five leaf clover/shamrock. Chicago really knows how to celebrate - have fun!!! Nice One!!!

Believe it or not, but I can find Corned Beef here in Italy and I will make the traditional meal for St. Patrick's Day. Thanks for the reminder with this festive posting, Kathy.

Not a clover but it is green and that works too. Nice one for St Patrick's Day, Kathy.

Very appropriate for the day Kathy and a lovely shade of green. I have not see this particular green one before.
I know it as 'Winter Rose'

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

At first I thought you had found a five leaf clover. Then I noticed that the leaves weren't shaped quite right for a clover. Beautiful shot, and you get extra credit for going green. LOL.

It is beautiful and focused perfectly Kathy. Sort of a blending of a shamrock and a 4-leaf clover - it should be extra extra good luck.
