Description
This specimen of Ivy-leaved Speedwell is a small, herbaceous annual plant, not typically cultivated as a bonsai due to its non-woody nature. It features delicate, hairy, ivy-shaped leaves and numerous tiny, pale blue to lilac flowers. The image displays a dense cluster of these plants, resembling a miniature ground-level 'forest' of herbaceous stems.
