Description
This specimen is an Alpine Crowfoot, a small herbaceous plant with deeply lobed basal leaves and delicate white flowers with prominent yellow centers. It is shown growing naturally in rocky, sparse soil, typical of its alpine habitat. While not a woody bonsai, its upright growth habit could be loosely interpreted as informal-upright if forced into a bonsai classification.
