Description
This miniature specimen of Wedgeleaf Draba presents a delicate informal-upright form, though it is not a traditional bonsai subject. It features a basal rosette of fuzzy, wedge-shaped leaves, from which a slender stalk emerges, topped with small white flowers. Its ephemeral nature makes it an unconventional and extremely challenging subject for bonsai cultivation.
