Agree with you 100% Freddie, Nic Nacs deserves the best xx
Meanwhile, the bush ... come to think of it, it doesn't look quite so "thriving" in the photograph does it ...
, in fact, it looks "ill". Some of those leaves since yesterday are going an awful beige colour in the middle. Oh dear, is this the end of it? Seems only the flowers below are now sort of okay.

Tas, one of my gardenia plants had black spot. This article covers it nicely

As Deb says, cut off the affected bits, throw them away, give it a spray and keep an eye on it.

Thanks amber xx
Looks like everyone has come to the same conclusion, it is a nasty fungul thing. We'll certainly sort it out tomorrow and get started on the treatment following the instructions carefully.
If that doesn't work and it continues, we'll pull the whole thing out, treat the soil and start again, maybe with some nice small flowers like violas, petunias or something similar.

Soooo, I'm back. Not too long was it?
Lotsa x-rays. Lotsa prodding and poking. They checked for breaks,
They checked for blood clots. Freddie, I had tests for gout coupla months ago
Verdict?
Osteo arthritis!! I already knew I had that! What I didn't know
was how much your joints can swell, apparently. My foot looked like
a small football. Finger still pointing at the wall.
Asked for prednisol, asked for cortisone injection. Nup and nup
Got a new script for panadeine forte. And that's it. Bye, bye now!
Oh, and stay off it as much as possible!
Gunna be a shyte Christmas. Grandma aint cooking this year.

I won't Bushie, I promise .... we'll do everything we can to save it first. It's a big learning curve as gardening hasn't exactly been our forte until now ... these days though, we are enjoying it immensely, bit by bit. Long way to go , but it's worth it xx
