Notable FeaturesThis specimen is not a bonsai but rather a collection of Lesser Duckweed (Lemna minor) fronds, a free-floating aquatic plant. It is characterized by its rapid growth and ability to form dense mats on water surfaces, often used in aquariums or as a research organism. The 'forest' style is applied here as a forced interpretation for a dense grouping, acknowledging it is not a traditional bonsai.
Description
This image displays a dense mat of Lesser Duckweed, a small, free-floating aquatic plant. It consists of numerous bright green fronds covering the water surface, often reproducing rapidly to form a thick carpet.
