I am needing some advice on two tree types that would make a good Bonsai. First, I was wanting to have a Bonsai that was grown in a pot of water (would put soil on bottom if needed), thus I would need a tree that can live in half an inch of water or the like. I would thank that some type of tree that grows in a swamp would work here, but what do you think?
Second, I was wondering if anyone knew of a Weeping Willow tree that would make for a good Bonsai. Most weeping willow bonsai that I have seen photos of only have a very small number of "weeping branches", but I would want to have one that could have tons like the real trees that you would see in the south. There are so many species of weeping willows that I do not know what one would be good to use to get the look that I would want and also have small leafs.
He is an example of what I think a true weeping willow bonsai should look like. I think to get it look for a bonsai you might have to use the broom style when training it though.

Also weeping willows like to grow on the edge of streams but is there any species that can survive growing IN the water?
