Description
This specimen is a wild herbaceous plant, identified as a Little Sunflower, growing in its natural habitat within a mountainous landscape. It features multiple bright yellow composite flowers and green, somewhat coarse foliage. It is not a cultivated bonsai, but its natural upright growth habit could be loosely interpreted as an informal-upright style.
