Diffusely lit, cool morning

What a pretty boy! Male staminate flower on b. Caribbean Queen 
Lightly overcast cool morning. Fed by watering can everything I didn't get to yesterday. Gave the gardenia (and oak leaf croton) a systemic insecticide.. as it's loosing all of it's leaves. It's a new plant, $40, it is blooming nicely, but 2/3 of it's leaves have yellowed and are starting to drop. I planted it by the book: light bleach and rinsing of pot, plenty of drain holes in bottom, a 2" layer of lava rock, weed block, fresh potting soil.. if it's a fungus or insect, perhaps the chemo will help.
