Description
This specimen is a clump of Canada wild rye, a perennial grass, growing naturally by a body of water. It displays numerous upright and arching stems topped with distinctive, bristly seed heads. While not a traditional bonsai, its dense, multi-stemmed growth could be metaphorically interpreted as a miniature 'forest' of grass.
