This specimen, hypothetically trained as a bonsai, features the characteristic fluffy, light purple and white composite flowers of Ageratum conyzoides. Its herbaceous nature makes it an unconventional choice for bonsai, but it presents a delicate floral display. The plant is currently in full bloom.
