And this will be helpful: Enkianthus are known as .
. .
Enkianthus. There's the "redvein E." and the "bent
E." and the
"white E." although most don't seem to have any
common name.
Which only goes to show (AGAIN) that you can NOT
(and should not)
rely on common names.

There are a variety of common names like fairy bells
and variations on the same. Look for Enkianthus if
that's what you want. It does make a nice bonsai.

As to species: one can make almost any thing into a
bonsai. There are plants grown just to display
flowers. Some of these are dwarf magnolia. Many
Ginko are styled to display fall color and are vase
shaped rather than showing a tree structure.
