michelia champaca in lahore

[khabbab]

My potted Michelia Champaca bloomed today. Very strong fragrance but not as sweet as alba. It filled my whole courtyard. I will post pics tomorrow.

This is grafted Michelia champaca in Lahore now.

Grafted or Air layered?
One of my two Champaca seedlings is in bloom for the last one month, the flowers are too high for a decent picture next time I will take a tele-lens and hope it is still blooming.

Brig Saheb this is grafted. Bought from Model Town last year. It's a Thai import. I am amazed at its performance along with an Alba hybrid and a champaca hybrid. I bought total 4 plants and all have bloomed remarkably well and all are grafted. My non-graft in ground in almost 20 feet and probably 4-5 years and no bloom. Another seedling from the USA I have planted in ground but no blooms for 2 years in pot. I guess you have to get a grafted plant to enjoy blooms. They seem to be perfectly happy in large pots, not sure how they will perform in the ground.

Grafted, Air layered or a cutting? how to differentiate?
