Happy Holy Saturday everyone 💛 My yellow hibiscus opened two big flowers last night. Such a perfect timing!

It's actually a miracle that this hibiscus is still alive. I've had problems with some very stubborn pests for a couple of years now (second photo). These guys only live on hibiscus, I've never seen them on any other plants. I've tried pine soap, two different kinds of pest poison, burned match sticks in the soil and of course regular showers, but nothing has helped for more than max 1-2 weeks. So now I'm wondering if anyone here knows how to get rid of flower bugs? ATM I have given up and the bugs are winning, so I would really appreciate some educated advice!

Some of the peppers and the hibiscus got an upgrade to bigger pots. 12 Red Marconi sweet peppers, 4 Jalapeno Big Guy Hybrid, and 2 of the Hawaiian chilis to fill a tray up. Hibiscus isn't looking great but it's a little warmer and has some nutrients in the new soil and doesn't have a silver birch seedling competing with it. It even has some flower buds I think. The over wintered verbena was pruned a little too.
