Description
This image shows a Stinking Hawk's-beard plant (Crepis foetida), a common herbaceous weed, not a bonsai specimen. While not a bonsai, its general growth habit with multiple stems extending upwards could be loosely interpreted as informal-upright. It features multiple bright yellow, dandelion-like flower heads and hairy stems and leaves.
