Description
This specimen of Leafy Spurge, typically an invasive weed, is presented as if cultivated in a bonsai style. It features bright yellow-green cyathia (flower-like structures) at the apex and numerous narrow, lanceolate leaves along its stem. Its herbaceous nature makes it highly unconventional for bonsai.
