Found while looking for something else: I remembered that several years ago, a yellow volunteer wildflower appeared in the mulched area beneath the zelkova tree in our back yard. Turns out it's Oenothera biennis (Evening Primrose to you and me), and the picture was taken September 27, 2013.
I've seen some of them along the road, although none near our house, and the "biennis" in the name means that it only lives two years, unlike the hardier perennial wildflowers nearby like chicory, hawkweed, and aster.
