Bonsai enthusiast Robert Baran has had an Elephant's Foot bonsai bloom &
noted its details on the web:
www.phoenixbonsai.com/Blooming.html.
I'm not at all familiar with the plant or even its cousins, but Robert
suggests that the blooming is a rare event in Arizona. He also comments on
another Elephant's Food bonsai from which this blooming bonsai arose as a
cutting:

The original plant has grown from a gift during Robert's first year in
Phoenix Bonsai Society. Such gifts are irreplaceable. In Robert's case,
this tree is perhaps partially responsible for substantial fruiting of
bonsai scholarship... :-)
