Tree frog might be from the area where the plant was grown/shipped
from, or it could be from the area local to the store where the plant
was bought.. if it had been outside there, or was outside. I've seen
another frog pic posted in one of the garden groups recently similar
looking frog.

I've seen frogs that green here, but smaller and with Dark stripes
rather than light. We have a brown version and a green version of the
same tree frog.

yeah I remember reading about the frog here (rec.gardens) and it's the same
kind of frog. of course I just assumed my own special froggy couldn't be
the same, but it looks like they are both identified as a green tree frog,
hyla cinerea. I think mine has smoother skin, so it would beat the other
frog in a beauty contest (or wait, is bumpy skin better on frogs?)

anyway, I cut open the bag of potting soil yesterday and the frog moved off
to loiter on the stack of buckets the bag was leaning on. Last night/today
it rained and I don't see him/her anymore, after about 3 days of just
hanging around. So maybe it went off for a swim or maybe it just took it
that long to realize a bag of potting soil is not a tree.
