Description
This specimen, identified as Subterranean Clover, is presented as a conceptual bonsai. It features dense growth of small, hairy trifoliate leaves and clusters of white, pea-like flowers. Its natural ground-cover habit is interpreted here as a miniature forest, though it lacks the woody trunk characteristics of traditional bonsai.
