Description
This image displays Carey's balsamroot, a herbaceous perennial wildflower, not a bonsai specimen. It features multiple stems with vibrant yellow, daisy-like flowers and large, deeply lobed basal leaves, growing in a natural clump. As it is not a woody plant, traditional bonsai characteristics like trunk features and nebari are not applicable.
