Cat those are two different hibiscus cultivars. I can't recall which at the moment.

I just took a few photos of the base of the plants. You can see how many divisions are present. Each clump is one bulb!

Thanks. Smiling Pardon the weeds. We've had so much rain this summer it has been impossible for us to keep up. The quack grass especially has been out of control.

That's my drip irrigation line. It's 1/4" tubing and I've run it all over the place. Works great for irrigation!

That 1/4" drip line sounds like a perfect solution for me. Thanks!! With plants that I lift in the fall all over the place the larger lines under the mulch are a problem.

Evan, I started with this: http://www.dripworks.com/produ...

That got me going and then later I ordered more of the specific parts I wanted in order to expand the system into more areas.

Yes, it looks very comprehensive too. I'm still looking for where the Goof plugs go as they sound like something I'll need. Smiling

Goof plugs cap the ends of each 1/4" drip line.
