I'm generally a blue pen kinda guy, but I do have a few green pens. In fact, I will readily admit, they are among the most attractive pens in my collection.

What is the next to last pen?

Ah, thank you!  I practice and use a pen that suits my penmanship.

 

 I could practice for the rest of my days and my handwriting is never going look anything like yours! 🙂

That is a Leonardo Momento Magico "Tropicale," a limited edition for Stilo & Stile.  Pretty pen, isn't it?

I’m in love with all of your green pens, everyone! @amberleadavisyour hand is lovely! 
I also forgot about my petite ring top, Stewart Hawkinson put a new sac in it not too long ago. I’m waiting for my number of inked pens to go down to use it.  While green pens are less popular than black or blue, they are all so stunning, and compliment the metallic furnishings really well.

Wait, what is that Green Pelikan Demonstrator??? I thought they were gold trimmed not silver trimmed.

 

This here is probably the M205 Duo that was meant as a highlighter pen and came with the matching neon green ink and fitted with a BB nib.

how many yellow pens there will be when we get to that pen club. 

That’s probably dependent on whether gold counts as yellow… 🤔

[Sailor Kenshin]

Forgot that I have two green (with black!) Pelikans, one a vintage 120 and the other a modern one with tipped italic nib.

[The Elevator]

My only two green fountain pens: a Transparent Green Sheaffer No Nonsense, and an Emerald Green TWSBI 580 AL.

 

For some reason I particularly like the dark transparent green of the Sheaffer. This is actually the pen I bought that calligraphy set for.

I have four yellow pens that I can think of. I don’t know if gold should be in with yellow. I tend to think not. We shall let others chime in.

I had to go look: I have three.

 

It almost became four when I thought the Saffron TWSBI was custard-coloured, then decided not to get it when it seemed it was a photographic-fib with some of the stores. If I could see one for real...but that's not going to happen here. I do like yellow even if the numbers in my collection don't back that up.

 

I'm wondering if there aren't very many made in comparison to other colours. So, yes, I think there should be a Yellow Pen Club one day. Let them come out of the woodwork and be counted!

I forgot, I also have a mottled green ebonite FPR Triveni

I forgot about a Lamy Safari, so I know of five now. Pilot Kakuno, Sheaffer from a calligraphy set, Pilot Prera, Nemosine Singularity, and a Safari in neon yellow.  There is some yellow in my Edison Beaumont, but I think it would qualify more in a Gray/Grey pen club. 

[Misfit]

@jandrew you have some great green pens.

Hello.

 

In the back is the Parker 25 (with a breather hole in the nib without date code) and in the front is the Platinum Honest 60.

 

Hero 849. (Fountain pen with integrated nib/section)

If your 25 has a breather/crack-stop hole in its nib, then it was made during the first year of their production - 1975.

See this splendid site for more info.

I have yellow pens!  Lamy Safari, Jinhao, Pelikan, probably a few others.  Though not a lot.

Slàinte,

Thanks.

It was a flat top cap with a green plastic inner cap and a brass barrel thread.

I also have a black one which has the same features.

Both are mediocre 1975 Mk1s and unfortunately not new discoveries of the Mk0.
