Looks right up your alley Flybri...if I'm not mistaken...looks like some kind of Eucalypt.

Re: SELLING UNKNOWN advance stock
From the leaf shape, bark colour and large purple flowers, I think it may be Tibouchina, probably T.urvilleana http://images.google.com.au/images?sour ... CBYQsAQwAA
Not sure how they go as bonsai.

Re: SELLING UNKNOWN advance stock
Definitely a tibouchina [or however you spell it]. I don't think the wood is good. The flowers are largish so the tree would need to be a lot thicker to carry them and if one is planning to bonsai it I would think it not wise to plan for a long lived bonsai. I had one briefly and decided it was better in the garden and it decided it was better with god. I got it from Riverview so it had a hard youth and an early demise was not unexpected. It's worth a go. I'm sure the leaves will reduce with bonsai cultivation. If I remember the branches are quite brittle and wiring would have to be done with branchlets. Go for it.
