What type of bonsai tree should I choose that will stay the smallest?

I would like to start caring for a bonsai plant as a hobby, can someone advise me on which type of tree would be a good starter plant?





I want to know what type of tree is best to train it to be teeny tiny, I would like it to be 12 inches or less. Even smaller would be great.





Also, I would LOVE a variety that produces flowers.





This would be a mainly indoor bonsai, though I wouldn't mind bringing it outside for fresh air on nice days.





Thank you in advance!|||a bonsai doesn't just 'stay' small, you need to work at it, to keep it small.....





bonsai is still the plant that it is... if it needs to live outside, then it will not do well INSIDE..... (crepes hate it inside!)





you need to study the where's and how's a lot more before you're ready for a plant.... best idea would be to get a book.....

It flowers early every spring, is easy to take care of and doesn't need to be watered hardly at all because it's kept outside.


Looks good from 6 inches up.





Just noticed that you want it indoor! In this case get a crepe myrtle which comes in variety of purple, pink or white flowers. It has tiny leaves so it looks good very small.


Although being an indoor type it will be harder to take care of of course.
