Really nice photos. I remember, nearly 50 years back we had a tall tree at least 100 m away from our house, and the fragrance of flowers would  reach our house. I have never seen such big flowers since then. We would pluck a flower bud about 6 inches long, put it in a glass of water (as a vase). It would take nearly ten days to fully open and all these days there would be fragrance all over house.

interesting fact Sir Ji

[Kenneth Greby]

 This tree is native to forested and swampy areas of the SE United States, characterized by acid soils and heavy summer rainfall and high humidity. Interestingly, more trees are now planted in California's Mediterranean climate, with neutral to slightly alkaline soils and long, dry summers. The tree also does well in the intermediate deserts of the SW US, such as Tucson, AZ!

 A rather amazingly adaptable species.

Regards--
Ken.

Neil--

 I'm used to seeing M. campbellii (here in the US) as a pink-flowered tree.

 Could yours be M. doltsopa (Michelia doltsopa)?

Regards--
Ken.
