Flower questions?

do u have to do anything to a hibiscus after it drops its dead flowers? and when do day lilies start blooming? my hibiscus dropped the flowers it had but still has the green parts. and my day lilies look fully grown but no flowers are showing up.

Flower questions?
Here in the northern midwest day lilies are just about to begin flowering. Not sure about the hibiscus. . . whenever I have had them the deer eat the flowers!
Reply:Ideally Hibiscus flowers should be removed at the node once they droop. Such dead heading encourages more flowers. Better not to wait till the flowers fall on their own.

Hibiscus Leaf & Stem marks-Two plants

Both these plants grew beautiful flowers but now seem to have some disease both on leaves and stem.
Their location was changed to another part of the house, when they were brought to original location ,which has more sunlight and where they bloomed many a time, this happened.
Is there a way to treat them
