Description
This specimen, identified as Field Locoweed, is an herbaceous perennial featuring a dense clump of stems with finely divided, pinnate leaves. It is adorned with numerous upright racemes of pale yellow, pea-like flowers, thriving in a rocky, open environment. While not a traditional woody bonsai, its compact, multi-stemmed growth habit could be interpreted in a naturalistic style.
