greenly
In verdant fashion
Greenly means in a green manner—either literally with green color or figuratively with inexperience or naivety.
The adverb is uncommon, appearing mostly in literary contexts: The hills rolled greenly toward the horizon.
When describing behavior, it suggests the awkwardness of someone new to something: He greenly fumbled through his first day on the job.
