Many folks have attempted to covet that Plant IQ Guru status, but right now, we have no worthy winners.

Better try and get those answers in. It's really anyone's game!

Just an FYI, the quiz doesn't change from try to try so feel free to do some research. A few people have come close so far.

So do you get back to us once a day. Its killing me that I was only one away and I can't figure out what I got wrong...

Who else got close? No one wants to post their scores? I feel kind of silly being the only who posted what they got.

I had to look up quite a few things mostly the second time around trying to figure out what I got wrong...
