This specimen of Water Sedge, a common wetland plant, displays its characteristic linear, grass-like foliage and prominent brown, spike-like inflorescences. While not a traditional bonsai subject due to its herbaceous nature, its natural upright growth habit could be loosely interpreted within a bonsai context.
