Where can I get chrysanthemum plants with lime green flowers?

I've seen them for sale everywhere as cut flowers - florists, flower stalls, M&S etc - but I've never seen seed or plants for sale.

Are they really that colour or have they been dyed? I know they dye white ones blue, however these are pretty obvious. The green ones look genuine to me though.

Thanks

There are zinnias with green blossoms, for sure. I think the best place to find out if there are any green chrysanths might be with one of the breeders or nurseries who specialise in them. Harry Lawson or Peter Fraser websites may be able to help you on locating them or telling you more information about them.

Company is called Chrysanthemums Direct and they ask г2.00 per plant and г3.95 delivery. 10% discount on more than 10 plants.

They are definately real I grew them last year and rather fabulous they looked too (even if I do say so myself!) I think I got them from sarah raven who reccomends them for floristry but you'll probably find them at other specialist nurseries. I'll try and add the link....
