@jkbarnes Are you sure it isn't covered up by the landscaping?
I was wondering, what with those great big pink magnolia petals hitting the ground.... My neighbour opposite's magnolia petals are succumbing to the 20mph winds we're getting as per normal for this time of year but actually the bigger problem are the leaves which turn to stiff brown leather in the autumn, allow themselves to be blown hither and yon and are still around in the New Year: if anything was going to bung up drains......

Funny you mention this. I shared all this with my dad, and he referred to me as Indiana Stanley!
I hope when you moved that rock it didn’t roll down the garden after you?

We discovered last fall the challenge presented by the magnolia leaves! As beautiful as the tree is in the spring, the leaves are brutal in the fall.
