Not to be mean...but I'm going to say what most folks are thinking...

Do you know that Phoenix is in the desert?

I'm sure that is precisely why they asked. You wouldn't ask a question like that in NC because it would be too hard to answer with all the green months.

Subject to ample winter rains, it would be Jan, Feb and March when the annual grasses on the mountains turn green. The hillsides can appear very green and have yellow splotches from wildflower concentrations in good years. In urban areas, businesses and homeowners often plant winter lawns which are a very bright shade of green.

Many desert species lose their leaves late winter and then bloom again in March. The new leaves with their bright green colors are often missed as it is subtle compared to what happens in the hardwoods of the east, but for desert lovers it is something to look forward to.

Now there's a helpful answer, Ponderosa. I don't know why that's so hard for some people here.

Sometimes people are a bit sarcastic when a question is easy to google. Plus, we get a lot of people on here complaining about the brown, so they might question the validity.
The desert is more of a melody of color, and green is subjective here. Our spring is full of color if you are use to the brown, but say that to a transplant who is use to a truly green state and they will look at you as if you've lost your marbles. lol So try to be forgiving.

I was going to answer "none of them."

It's not green here at all.
