Description
This image depicts Beach Spinifex, a perennial grass native to coastal dunes, not a bonsai specimen. While not a traditional bonsai, its natural growth habit in windy environments could metaphorically be described as windswept, with long blades flowing in one direction. It features distinctive spherical seed heads.
