Description
This specimen of Water Earwort forms a dense, miniature 'forest' of translucent, overlapping lobes. The individual growths, varying in green and reddish-brown hues, create a compact, cushion-like appearance, reminiscent of a tiny, ancient woodland floor. While not a traditional bonsai, its intricate texture and form offer a unique aesthetic.
