The Wild Sunflowers

Sunflowers growing in a storm drain.

The wild sunflowers are growing in a storm drain.

The Helianthus californicus, the scientific name for the California sunflower, can grow anywhere, even among barren rocks.

This species of wild sunflowers are drought tolerant and grow almost anywhere, even in a storm drain among rocks.

    1. I love that the sunflowers pop out as well. It was unexpected to see these growing in a storm drain last week, so I made an effort to go back and photograph these with my real camera.
