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.

As it turns out, we've been asked almost the identical question before. The previous question was "What is the most common wildflower in North America?" Here is the answer to that question and I think it answers your question as well.
