Description
This specimen features two mature Pregnant Onion bulbs growing in a natural, uncultivated setting, surrounded by clover and other ground cover. Each bulb supports several long, strap-like green leaves emerging vertically from its base. While not a traditional bonsai, its natural upright growth habit could be conceptually aligned with an informal-upright style if cultivated in a miniature form.
