I love the tiny flowers! How tall is it?
This is very inspiring--I kept trying to think what flowers I had thought about training as bonsai; then I remembered: I've got several miniature begonias with trident leaves and tiny white flowers. I haven't attempted training it partly out of laziness and partly because I don't know how it would respond to pruning. It is very encouraging to see that it has successfully been done, though. The only problem with my begonias is that they develop big bulbs at the base, so I might have to train them as shohin, as opposed to mame, and burry the bulb in a bigger pot. I don't have a lot of experience training bonsai, so it would probably be good practice--especially since thsese flowers are easy to propagate and quick growing. And you can practice on the extras, such as amending the reverse taper.
Do you keep your impatiens in one of your little glass house thingies so you don't have to water it as much? It seems like that tiny pot would dry out quick.
