Description
This specimen is a Pacific Silverweed, a low-growing perennial plant, not a traditional bonsai. It features bright yellow, five-petaled flowers and pinnately compound leaves, typically found in sandy or marshy coastal areas. Its natural creeping habit could hypothetically be trained into a semi-cascade style if cultivated in a shallow pot.
