I actually ordered seeds for a Chinese Juniper, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ulmus Parvifolia, Chinese Redbud, Juniper communis, Delonix Regia and Chinese Dogwood yesterday. Looking forward to germinating them. Just not sure I can wait as long as nearly 220 days for the Chinese dogwood to complete the basic germination process.

Oh yes, the waiting game for germination. That's why for some of my bonsai I just buy it small from a nursery. For seeds that I want to germinate I usually go for fruit seeds and such, they are easier and fast to grow. Although, I just got some Japanese Sakura seeds and I hope I'm able to germinate them. Just be patient and get a couple of plants from a nursery, otherwise you might get impatient lol
I do have a few from the nursery just thought I'd actually like to grow them from scratch for once - shaping them the way I like etc. The guy at our nursery doesn't seem to care for them properly as some have become riddled with disease. The only other nursery I know is quite a distance off. Besides, this is way more fun and provides a proper learning experience.
That's true, it's way more fun and tremendously more satisfying to see them grow from seed. I just prepared my cherry blossom seeds and hope they germinate.
