Description
This specimen is a Pimpernel Sundew, a small carnivorous plant, not a bonsai. It features a flat rosette of bright green leaves covered in sticky, red-tipped glandular tentacles, actively trapping several small insects. A slender stalk rises from the center, bearing a vibrant orange flower and developing seed pods.
