Description
This specimen presents a dense mat of small, herbaceous plants, featuring numerous tiny white flowers with deeply notched petals. While not a traditional bonsai, its low-growing habit and profuse flowering could be imagined as a miniature ground cover or a 'forest' of very small plants in a landscape setting.
