Well, the Maple and the Myrtle could both use some growing. The best place for this is NOT a bonsai pot. They should be in the ground or large grow box and let grow more or less wild for 2-3 years. You can do some minor training along the way.

The Azalea has very good potential and could be made into a small bonsai or also put in the ground to fatten up.

The Juniper can go either way also.

All depends on what you want. I have a couple Azaleas that I made into small bonsai. But be careful not to trim or repot while flowering. They also like acid soil.

All in all, very good choices!!
