I ve had the yellow michela, the michela Alba and the ylang ylang. The yellow michela and the ylang ylang grow well from fresh seeds. If you want to go that route, top tropicals or Tradewinds tropical seeds should have seeds. Gardinos has all 3 as plants, not sure if they can ship overseas. These are all fast growing big trees ;) As as far as fragrance, I had the 3 in a front yard (well the yellow was technically in my neighbors yard). They all seemed to go thru bloom cycles and actually didn't seem to bloom at the same time. The yellow really did seem to smell like joy perfume, the Alba smelled just like juicy fruit gum, and the ylang ylang smelled very similiar to bath & body works ylang ylang products. I liked them all about equally. For comparison, some of my favorite scents are jasmine maid of Orleans and Brunsfelsia gigantica.

Have you tried Caldwell Nursery yet? I think they have sold out but you could always put and order in for one) Mike Here is a link that might be useful: Nursery

Hi Yellowthumb, I have a questioned about my michelia alba. When I first bought the plant it was only the michelia alba grafted. And now the there's another plant growing from there and I don't know what it is? Is it a michelia champaca or what can you please tell what kind of plant it is. It's been growing faster than my alba, it started growing from the bottom of the trunk of the tree. The leaves is kind of fuzzy and big not a leathery fuzzy but fuzzy. The way you described your champaca it sounds like that plant but I'm not sure so can you please give me some ideas. And there's the picture of the plant, it has grown so much that it over takes my alba. I just hope that it is a champaca and the alba all in one pot. Thanks Savy 4

Did you take a look at Gardinos? Not sure what price range you are looking for but generally the alba is about twice the price of the champaca. Here is a link that might be useful: Gardino's Website
