What is your experience with bonsai? Just curious. My tips are the same in your other post.

Looks like nice material for a small size bonsai.
I have lonicera. A big one and a tiny one, grown from seed (found it growing in a pot in which I had another tree).
They're quite easy.

First, get it settled and let it grow.

Thanks for the support! I'm a complete novice at Bonsai but am a keen horticulturist and have plant knowledge.

Well, you started so much better than the majority of posters here... and your horticultural knowledge will be a huge advantage!
Seems you already have a fairly good idea of what material you are looking for. Looking forward to your projects :)

Here's a Hebe that I've started too.
Very cute and healthy shrub.

Not sure if Hebe is very suitable for bonsai - the varieties I know aren't, really.

The lonicera is looking lovely now it's settled in its new home.
