Game: Things that are...green/Cosas son que...verdes

Question

Another of my colour-based games, since you guys seem to really like them. Now I had a vote for the next colour to be green, so here it is. The rules (for the benefit of any newcomers) are:

• Post the name of something in both Spanish and English - it can be anything from a food to an emotion.
• Pictures are very welcome, as always.
• Don't forget to have fun!
