Maples have red or green leaves. If your seed sprout, you will have beautiful maple, but it will not have blue leaves.

Have you ever seen a tree or plant with blue leaves? That does not exist on this planet.
The picture of the maple with blue/purple leaves is photoshopped from a famous bonsai of Walter Pall.
And btw, out of the seeds you received will not grow a bonsai at all, but a normal full grown tree if left untouched

side note, whch you probably know.. From your seeds a tree will grow. Making it a bonsai is up to you. Nature does not do that for you.

I am not sure it will grow maples out of those seeds. Not even sure it will grow trees from them.
