Your lovely survivor zinnia reminded me of a favorite survivor and 
goaded me to scan images of it. shown in this and the next three gallery 
images

At a Zuikoholics meet in 2003, I noticed this Yellow Lupine growing on 
the shoulder of the road outside the parking lot for the Tilden 
miniature steam railway. I only noticed it from the car when we were 
heading out for food and drink. I cam back a little later and took some 
pics.

Later yet, I drove by and saw the shoulder had been mowed and the lupine 
was gone. I was glad I had taken my images already.

But next year, there it was again, and for every year since. A very 
persistent plant.

What's unusual is the color. There are lots of Yellow Lupine along the 
coast. Not all that far far as the crow flies, but quite a different 
climate. This is the only one I recall in the East Bay hills.
