Thanks, David.

I think the early spring weather affected migratory birds, like hummingbirds and orioles, this year. I saw NO orioles, this year. Both bird types have been suffering, in recent years, due to loss of habitat, and pesticide poisons. I have seen a few types of butterflies, this year. They all seem to like the same plants, as hummingbirds, and bees.
I have a Chaste Tree, but in shade, it does bloom, at all. Same goes for Butterfly Bush.

I usually prune away half of my Rose of Sharon plants, from the previous year's growth, with pruners, in spring. This helps increase branching, and blooming, as well as overall compactness of the plants. Flower drop can be considerable, but not as bad, as say, from Mimosa....requires a broom, or rake, lol.

I didn't know Hibiscus coccinea flowers lasted just a day, like daylilies.
