Description
This specimen, identified as a Shinleaf plant, features a basal rosette of oval, green leaves and a single, slender upright stem culminating in a raceme of delicate white, bell-shaped flowers with prominent orange anthers. While not a traditional bonsai, its natural upright growth habit could hypothetically be interpreted as an informal-upright style.
