Hi to all the marvelous tree ID wizards.
I bought this plant from a local nursery in December last year. It was labelled as a gardenia, but after doing a little pruning, re-potting and wiring I began having doubts that it's not a gardenia. My suspicions were proved right when a small flower bud formed and finally opened a couple of days ago. The flower has sprouted directly on a branch not far from the main trunk, which is not where gardenia flowers grow. It looks like perhaps a magnolia of some sort . It doesn't have the velvety underside of other magnolias I've seen, but it does have very fine fuzz on the new shoots.
Does anyone recognize this plant?
Thank you in anticipation

Hi raging bull

It's a michellia Figo . Or port wine magnolia
