Description
This specimen is a Mountain Spleenwort fern, naturally growing in a crevice on a moss-covered rock face. While not a traditional tree bonsai, its growth habit with fronds cascading downwards from the rock evokes a naturalistic semi-cascade style. The delicate, deeply lobed fronds display a vibrant green color.
