My favorite bonsai among my father's collection is one which he plated when I was born.
It is a specail kind of a tamarind tree that is only found in certain central parts of India. I have seen the tree grow, and form ariel roots.
The best part about this tree is during winter here in Indai i.e. by Novembr it sheds all its leaves and looks as if it is dead. Then during spring around feb march you can see tiny shoot buds coming out...
I'll ask my father to take a pic and then post it here for you guys.
