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.

Title: Texas bluebonnets for Illinois
Answered by: Barbara Medford

QUESTION:

Thank you Mr. Smarty Plants. I will be closely checking the variety of Texas bluebonnets that I tried to plant. For the record, I did soak them first to loosen the seed shell. I think we probably just had the wrong variety for our zone. Looking forward to reading your very detailed answer! Thank you!!

ANSWER:

Our pleasure. Good luck.
