Hello again
I got some pictures today if you are interested, its a bid hard to make them out with all the foilage behind. This one is a picture of my first Michelia that I got from mgonline.com.

Notice the upright symetrical growth of this one and the leaves have a tiny soft hairs that collect the humidity at night time they appear much paler and matt than my more recent one, I got about a year and a half ago 9 its been through 3 hurricanes) and it was tiny then only about six leaves so I would say almost 2 years old.

In finding the receipt I realised that it is actually listed as 1 Orange JOY live tree which is Michelia champak / Michelia champaca

I guess thats why it is different from
my most recent alba I always thought they were both the same
