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?
Ask Mr. Smarty Plants is a free service provided by the staff and volunteers at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Title: Contacts with botanical illustrators
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:
I am interested in preparing 3D (stereoscopic) illustrations of plants and flowers. Can you give some contacts with botanical illustrators for guidance? Are there any guidelines about botanical illustrations? ThanksANSWER:
I am going to refer you to several organizations who would have someone who could answer your questions. They are:
American Society of Botanical Artists
Philadelphia Society of Botanical Illustrators
New England Society of Botanical Artists
Guild of Natural Science Illustrators
Someone in one of these organizations should be able to help you.
