Hi there folks,

I have been searching the internet to identify my newest bonsai — a gift from my sons — to no avail. I hope someone her can help. The leaves look familiar to me, they are very soft, not wax or brittle at all (pics attached).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Since this is a gift from my boys something they selected and paid for themselves it has huge sentimental value. I want discover what species it is so I can give it the best care possible.

Thank you in advance.

It looks like a bougainville although I would not refer to this as a bonsai. It is just a plant.

Agree with Leatherback, the leaves look like a bougainvillea.

This is great! Thanks so much Clicio and Leatherback -- for your time and sharing your knowledge. Now I can do some research to ensure this little guy will thrive.

bougainvilleas love the sun. i have a few. make sure you keep it outside. they do well with hard pruning but are very delicate with there root system. they are also pretty drought friendly and hate wet feet. good luck with your tree.

Great information thank you very much. I will be sure to keep his toes dry and the sun shining on him.
