(adj.) growing in disturbed areas, on waste ground, or among rubbish

I live on a 2×4 mile chunk of dead coral that protrudes only 18 feet above the ocean. The cost of living is exorbitant and the competition for housing is fierce for both people and plants. Many of our most common wildflowers aren’t much different than the humans in Key West—we both put a lot of creativity and effort into living in paradise.
