I've pulled quite a few finlaysoniana volunteers that came up from seed that was dropped from last year, but I didn't expect this.

I found three (maybe four) finlaysoniana growing under the condensate drain from one of my AC units. The big one (~2 inches tall) is obvious, the bottom left may be two, and the top left is small enough to be questionable as to the ID. However, given that the others are finlaysoniana, I'm going with that.
Now to see if the pure water from the condensate has washed enough minerals away so they grow big.

I would test the soil there and then several feet away. Are you maybe on to something here? Maybe "borrow" some of the soil there to experiment with. I have been watering my wife's roses with the waste water from my RO/DI unit and they seem to really like it. My grass is quite green also.

You could try, but it appears that the ones that were growing started in the moss on top of the soil. As soon as the roots got long enough to touch the soil they burned up.
