Will try to address some of your suggestions:

The clump is about 5' tall and is made up of 2 different colors. Pinkish white and a 5-petaled red. A bit different! I will post pictures....

This plant is neither stressed or under watered nor over fertilized. I am rather lax at fertilizing. Need to do it more.....

It has been in the same spot for about 6-7 years and has bloomed the last 3 or 4. Never a problem!

It is next to an old Juniper bush and also an Azalea bush. Will post picture from a distance for you.

Hart--both of the links you sent are for the Tropical Hibiscus. Mine is a perennial and dies back to the ground each year. It re-grows in late Spring. Like the more common "dinner plate", perennial Hibiscus, I don't think they care what soil they grow in.

Basically, I am not fretting about it any more as the flower buds are doing OK and there's nothing I can do anyway by now. Just hoping for cooler weather...

OK! Here's the bush from a distance. In the foreground is the Azalea and behind it (about 2' away) is the Juniper.
