Description
This specimen is a wild Cut-leaf Fleabane (Erigeron compositus), an herbaceous perennial plant, not a bonsai. It features a basal rosette of deeply lobed, fern-like leaves and multiple slender stalks bearing white, daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. It is shown growing naturally in rocky terrain, and is not typically cultivated as a bonsai due to its herbaceous nature.
