Hi can anyone please tell me what my bonsai is? I can't seem to find it anywhere... It has really distinctive tiny white four petal flowers and glossy rich green leaves with little teeth on the edges at the tips.
I don't know how to put photos up, but here's a link to them on flickr.

Any help is much appreciated. This is my first bonsai and I really want to find out about it.

bobsai,
Sorry I was so brief earlier.

Sorry I was so brief earlier.
In all honesty I'm not sure, it was just a possibility. The notched leaves strongly suggested a Fukien to me but I have only learned about them from this forum and have no personal experience with them. Can you inquire where you purchased it?I thought it might be a Fukien Tea, but the flowers have four petals and not five. Is mine a variety of Fukien Tea?
