Interesting. Here in the UK when someone is described as having
green fingers the implication is always that they are good at
growing plants. However 'green fingers' does not appear in
Webster's dictionary, nor in Roget's Thesaurus, which are the
only online facilities I have available. (You have to pay to
access the Oxford online dictionary :-( ).
