Description
This specimen is a herbaceous perennial vine, identified as Western morning glory, featuring a single prominent light yellow, trumpet-shaped flower. Its heart-shaped leaves form a dense ground cover, growing close to what appears to be a dark, possibly burnt, substrate. The plant is not cultivated as a traditional bonsai.
