Description
This specimen of Lesser Spearwort is a herbaceous plant featuring numerous small, bright yellow, five-petaled flowers. It grows densely with slender green foliage in what appears to be moist, dark soil, typical of its wetland habitat. While not a traditional bonsai, its growth habit could be loosely interpreted as informal-upright.
