Viridiflora describes a green-marked flower form. It is a colour and pattern cue, not a guarantee that every plant will show the same proportion of green or hold the same appearance in every light.
Read the green mark
The green area may run through the centre of a petal and can look stronger before the flower is fully open. Background foliage, cloud and the age of the bloom all alter the balance a gardener sees.
Keep the sourced wording and the photograph side by side, but do not use the photograph to fill an absent registry field.
