Description
This specimen of Brewer's Lupine is a small, herbaceous perennial plant characterized by its silvery-green palmate leaves and vibrant purple-blue flower spikes. While not currently a bonsai, its compact, upright growth habit could hypothetically lend itself to certain styles if cultivated from a young age. The plant is observed in its natural habitat, not in a container.
