Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

We are sorry, but we are no longer able to accept pictures on our website. Go to our Plant Identification page, which has links to several forums which are set up for pictures, and hopefully someone will be able to help you there.
