"Sunflowers and other weedy wildflowers colonize the wastelands and forgotten corners of the city and provide, at no cost, many of the same services that the cultivated plant communities do. In urban wastelands, they decorate what would otherwise be a desolate environment. But most city dwellers are blinded to their beauty by a more domesticated aesthetic. An unappreciated and neglected resource, their energy goes unharnessed." - Anne Whiston Spirn, The Granite Garden, 1984
