Here we go:

"Yes, I've seen more than one bonsai here in Brazil where the species is well known and native. There are some big grown trees on the streets of São Paulo, and it is possible to buy a pre bonsai fairly easily.
*Very difficult* to reduce the leaves and almost impossible to see a bonsai blooming. The trees flower abundantly pink and white beautiful flowers .

Ceiba erianthos is an endemic species in the Northeast and Southeast regions of Brazil in the states of Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro in the Atlantic Forest biome. It occurs in vegetation on rocky outcrops and sandbanks. It is popularly known as paineira-da-praia and paineira-branca.

I wouldn't try unless living in the tropics and knowing it will take a lot of work and many, many years to make a bonsai out of it."

Don't ask me, I'm not a fan of paineiras as bonsai. But they have tubers like Adeniums, and they only get spikes when they mature into bark, IF this is possible. I really don't know.
