This image depicts a wild herbaceous plant, Iberian Lampwick (*Phlomis lychnitis*), not a cultivated bonsai specimen. It naturally grows with an upright habit, displaying distinctive whorls of bright yellow, hooded flowers along its stem. The 'informal-upright' style is assigned for compliance with the required field, though it does not represent a bonsai.
