Description
This specimen features a vibrant yellow flower with prominent orange-red stamens, characteristic of the Least Water-lily. While not a traditional woody bonsai, its single stem rises upright from the water, presenting a simple, elegant form. The broad green leaves (lily pads) provide a contrasting backdrop in its aquatic environment.
