I suggest you take your time and actually learn how to take care of them, why they like Kanuma, why they need Miracid, why they prefer rainwater, and why you should take out the flowers after blooming.
And IF you mean bonsai, there are many Rhododendron that are not suitable as the leaves don't reduce well.

You mean you want to grow azalea and serissa bonsai from seed?
Not something I personally would try. Why not start with nursery material, preferably something native? Better learn to walk before you run.

All bonsai are hard to maintain if you do not know what you are doing..
Small leaved syringia flowers every year and can be trimmed.
