The majestic Japanese Maple is considered the king of Bonsai trees. Japanese maples are popular for bonsai due to their many benefits. Not only are Japanese maples beautiful to look at, including their unique leaf shape, but they are also relatively easy to maintain. They are drought and pest-resistant, and require minimal pruning.

The blooms of Bougainvillea aren’t actually blooms at all. The showy paper-like structures are a modified leaf called a bract.
