Gardenia flowers browning / falling off

Hi guys - I planted this around 7 months ago. The plant seems to be growing well and flower buds growing but as they mature, ALL of them are browning and eventually falling off. What could this be? :(. I haven’t seen a single flower yet

How do I get this flattened?

So yes I fkd up … I’ve tried sanding this with hand and with an orbital sander even with 40 grit but there’s barely anything coming off. It’s rock hard. Any tips on how I can grind it off? I don’t care if the wall is a bit damaged since I have to sand and paint etc anyway. :(

Edit - it’s just powdered filler for drywall repair.

Fireplace leaking out cold air

Hi all - I’m looking for opinions on my fireplace that leaks out cold air from all around it. Not on the outer edges but like the bottom portion where the controls are and the top where the vented air is supposed to come out. Surely this can’t be the normal design?! I’m talking about when it’s completely switched off. The air seems to be worse when the house ducted heating is on but even with that turned off I can still feel it.

It’s a fake Gas fireplace if that matters. It has an insulation metal type thing on the outside wall but I can’t see any opening there for air to go in. It’s impractical to just cover everything off since I’d like to retain use of the fireplace but trying to work out how else to go about troubleshooting?

Thanks in advance
