Description
This specimen of Fringed Grass of Parnassus displays a basal rosette of heart-shaped, light green leaves. Multiple slender stalks rise from the rosette, each bearing delicate white flowers with yellow centers and distinctive fringed petals, growing in a natural, rocky environment. Its herbaceous nature makes it an unconventional subject for traditional bonsai styling.
