We have three main species of Hibiscus, and then after that we have a whole variety of different species. It's those three that I am most concerned with right now:

H. moscheutos
Hardy Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos)

H. syriacus
Roses of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)

H. rosa-sinensis
Tropical Hibiscuses (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis)

The above three plant entries are all parent plants.

We also have a fourth parent plant:
Hibiscus

and that 4th one is a general catch all parent for all other Hibiscus plants that are not in those first three mentioned species.

Soon, I will be able to assign moderator duties based on parent plants rather than entire genus. When that happens, how are you wanting these split up?

I'm the hardy Hibiscus ... that would be H. moscheutos and H. syriacus right now.

Zuzu wants the tropicals ... so H. rosa-sinensis.

I'll take the general catch-all as well, I guess, if you want a moderator for that one?

And we need to either remove Perennial from the general listing or add Annual. I think the latter might be best.

I would think removing Perennial and Annual is appropriate since both can apply when you're talking about an entire genus.

Whichever is fine. I was just thinking that I'm not sure how many people would realize that there are annuals in that genus at all.
