Description
This specimen is not a bonsai, but rather a dense mat of Giant Salvinia, an invasive aquatic fern. It consists of numerous small, oval, textured leaves floating on the water surface, exhibiting varying shades of green and brown. The 'forest' style is chosen to represent the dense collection of individual plants, though it does not apply to a traditional bonsai tree.
