Description
This specimen of Tapertip Liveforever (Dudleya edulis) is a succulent plant, here analyzed as a hypothetical bonsai due to its growth habit on rocky terrain. It displays rosettes of fleshy, pointed leaves and is currently in bloom with delicate pink flowers on tall stalks. While not a traditional woody bonsai, its natural form suggests a 'root-over-rock' aesthetic.
