Ron, please use the latin binomial, this forum has readers from many countries. Do you mean Magnolia (formerly Michelia) champaca ? Thanks

It looks different than Michelia, plus I don't think a flowering Michelia is that special to post.

One whiff of a Michelia in bloom, and quibbles about being special evaporate. That said, it's not rare, which is a great thing.

And, Arenga engleri has great smelling flowers, too. A run for the money in my opinion.

Ohh-la la!

Yes Kim, you would have no trouble growing it in Puna. Its one of my very favorite trees for fragance! They make either Channel # 5 perfume or Joy, I forget which from the bloom. Which ever it is, M. champaca is in the other perfume.

Yes, Cananga odorata.

Well-grown.

I like this tree and for that reason continue to grow two in large pots in Virginia even though I'll probably never see blooms here. The leaves and distinctive graceful form are worth the space. M. champaca blooms easily in a pot for me though. Neither are hardy to zone 8 that I know of.

In Puerto Rico, C. odorata grows and flowers rapidly and I do enjoy the fragrance.

Oh, I was told it was Chanel number five from the Cananga and Joy perfume from M. champaca if anyone cares.

Congratulations on the flowering of your seed grown tree! That's always a special event.

These seem pretty easy to germinate from fresh seed so if I get a chance I'll bring some from PR to Virginia and list them on Palmtalk.
