Description
This specimen, identified as 'Turkish Towel', is an unconventional subject for bonsai, being a type of red algae. Presented in an informal-upright orientation, it features a distinctive, highly textured surface with numerous small, spiky projections, and a rich reddish-brown coloration. Its unique, non-woody form challenges traditional bonsai aesthetics.
