The one thing I noticed when my tomato plants in the yard were overrun with dying blossoms, the cherry tomato plants on the side of the house were unaffected. So the 3 tomato plants I have on the side of my house are right next to a good size hibiscus plant. Upon some close observation yesterday, the hibiscus plant is over run with tiny black dots under the leaves and all over the big hibiscus flowers. I suspect the hibiscus is taking all the abuse much like the marigold are in the suggestion posted earlier.
I will take pictures when I get home.
