Thanks for the advice and the humor!

It is the typical Magnolia Soulangiana, in the garden, nowhere near any driveways, in a flower bed, and has been there about 15 years. It gets full sun. We have had a lot of rainfall this month! No utility work, no trenching, no construction of any kind. No waste disposal.

1. The location. No plants around it have been moved for many years.
2. It does have a lot of flowers!

Could it just be the excessive rainfall we've had this month - almost 9"?

I will take a walk around it and take photos. I would hate for anything to hurt it.

What would I look for to see signs of recovery? Spring 2014?


Do we need to call CSI Agent Gibbs in on the case? If so, let me know so I can get "dolled up".
