Hi Matt,

The plant is indeed a nice one & quite easy to grow.
The fact that it's flowering probably means that you take good care of it
Unfortunately the bonsai look of it is quite problematic.Here are some thoughts:
- The trunk lacks good tappering.
- The trunk width is not proportional to plant's height.
- The general shape is non-natural.
- As already mentioned by Greg, the trunk & branch structure is invisible.
- Nebari, even if unclear from the picture, seems to need attention

I think that's enough for today.
Sorry for being picky.

The nice guy sitting next to the tree looks nice though ...
