Description
This image displays a Mediterranean Spurge (*Euphorbia characias*) growing in its natural environment. While not a traditional bonsai species due to its herbaceous nature and milky sap, its multi-stemmed, upright growth habit could hypothetically be interpreted as an informal-upright style if cultivated as a bonsai.
