Hi all,
I found this in my garden the other day. It had a very large broom style head branch which was completely dead, but at the roots was this root system which still showed signs of life. I have removed the old branch and spread the roots over the old trunk and it is going strong now. New buds coming through, there is only one problem. I have no idea what sort of plant it is. I am new to Bonsai and species identification is definitely not my strong point. Can anyone help..

Looks like azalea to me.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

It could also be a Cuphea. Hard to tell without flowers.
