I already tried going through the ID guide on the website, but my bonsai (if it even is one) is still just a sprout so the leaves are still changing shape. I bought an assorted bag of bonsai seeds from a website, but they had no labels or instructions whatsoever. The seed this sprout came from was very strange looking. I didn't even think it would grow it looked like a shriveled up bean and was very weightless. Lo and behold, it was the best growing out of the entire lot (to the point it has grown about 4 inches in just a few days). The leaves start off as a star-like shape then smooth out as they get bigger to almost look like lily pads. The leaves' stem is in the middle of the leaf which is one of the reasons I am having trouble identifying it. If anyone can help me figure it out before it grows much bigger, I would really really appreciate it.

If it could be just any plant, I would guess it is a Tropaeolum.
