Hi Patricia,
I, also, am a beginner at Bonsai. I think they are the most wonderful
little trees ever. I live in Update New York. I have, to date: a Fukien
Tea Tree, a Juniper Tree, and a Dwarf Fig Tree.
how old are these trees? i think you will work on these trees for quite a
long time before taking care of the bonsai from seeds below...

and do well (Japanese White Pine; Ponderosa Pine; Acer Maple [acer
palmatum-ornatum]; Trident Maple [acer buergeranum]; Amur Maple [acer
ginnala]; Chinese Juniper; Rockspray Cotoneaster [cotoneaster
horizontalis]; Japanese Black Pine; Chinese Elm; Chinese Zelkova; Japanese
Zelkova; Korean Hornbeam; Chinese Wisteria; Monkey Pod [rain tree-samanea
saman]; Common Olive; Desert Rose; Mugo Pine; Italian Stone Pine; Colorado
blue Spruce; Black Locust; Japanese Pagoda Tree; Maidenhair Tree; Sacred
Japanese Cedar; Cedar of Lebanon; Japanese Pink Dogwood; siberian
Crabapple; Tree of Heaven; Monterey Cypress; Giant Sequoia; and Baobab
[lemonade tree-adansonia].

how much money did u spent? do u know that not every nursery has all these
species?
Anyway... Good Luck!
