My sister sent me these seeds... this is how she got them in the mail.

In a bag that just said bonsai seeds.. wtf.
As far as i know there is no tree named "bonsai".

Any chance any one knows what any of these are?

They are the seeds from a Pine tree. They look a little large for Black Pine, they might be White Pine. Other than that one would have to be The Great Karnak to tell you more than that before you get them to germinate and put on some adult foliage.

They are obviously some varitey of pinus. If they called them "bonsai" seeds then probably JBP or the like.

I would agree that they are probably JBP. At this point just soak them for a night or two and plant the ones that sink. Find a sunny spot outside that is out of the wind. Make sure they don't dry out. You should get some to sprout in a few weeks. Good luck.
