Suggestions for starter bonsai Baton Rouge LA?

[JBNOLA]

Hi,
I’m new to bonsai, picking it back up after initially starting in Hawaii a few years ago. Any suggestions for a beginner flowering bonsai, pre-bonsai? I was thinking wisteria, royal poinciana, azalea, sweet olive?

Thanks!

Bougainvillea, Barbados Cherry, Lavender Star Flower, Desmodium, just off the top of my head. Many flowering types would love your climate. Welcome to the forum!

Bald cypress, not flowering but prolific in Louisiana and beautiful.

Second on bougainvillea or desmodium. Wisteria, and azalea are not necessarily beginner trees and Royal Poinciana have giant leaves that do not reduce well. Bougies are a personal favorite of mine.
