Description
This specimen, identified as a *Gagea* species, presents a delicate, upright form with vibrant yellow, star-shaped flowers. While not traditionally cultivated as a bonsai, its small stature and herbaceous nature would make it an extremely challenging subject for miniature cultivation. It is shown here in its natural, uncultivated state.
