Description
This specimen features a cluster of delicate white, fringed flowers with yellow stamens, emerging from a central stem. It is accompanied by broad, green, trifoliate leaves, characteristic of a wetland plant. While not a traditional bonsai, its upright growth habit could be interpreted as an informal-upright style.
