Description
This specimen of California goldenbanner displays multiple upright herbaceous stems adorned with bright yellow, pea-like flowers arranged in dense racemes. Its foliage consists of distinctive trifoliate leaves with a silvery-green hue, characteristic of the species. While not a traditional bonsai species, its upright growth habit could be conceptually aligned with an informal-upright style if it were a woody plant.
