Description
This image displays two emergent flower spikes of floating-leaved pondweed (*Potamogeton natans*) rising from the water. The plant features broad, oval-shaped floating leaves visible on the water's surface, characteristic of its aquatic habitat. It is important to note that this is an aquatic plant, not a bonsai specimen, and the 'style' is assigned based on the upright growth of the emergent spikes.
