Description
This image displays a wild specimen of Broom Snakeweed (*Gutierrezia sarothrae*), a common flowering shrub, not a cultivated bonsai. It features numerous small, bright yellow composite flowers and slender, green stems. The plant's natural upright growth habit could hypothetically be adapted to an informal-upright bonsai style if it were to be cultivated as such.
