My dads into bonsai in a serious way. Its got to be Azelea. Have u seen it flower?

 

Not yet.

 

Look close at the picture of the foliage, there are spines on the leaves very similar in design to other ilex species.

I reckon it's Serissa foetida, or Tree of a Thousand Stars. It's one of the most popular species for indoor bonsai. Try bruising a leaf and sniffing it. If it smells fetid, that's what it is.
