Description
This specimen displays the vibrant purple and white flowers of the Nootka Lupine, a herbaceous perennial. While not a woody bonsai, its multiple flowering stalks emerging from the ground could conceptually be interpreted as a 'forest' style if one were to imagine it as a miniature landscape. The plant is currently in full bloom, showcasing its characteristic spires of blossoms.
