Automatic watering timer connected to drip irrigation. The two filter-looking things allow me to heap some water-soluable fertilizer in there for auto-fertilizing too. The one on the left goes to the roses, and the one on the right goes to the hops.
These Drip Disa are only found in a few places on the mountainside and flower for about 2 weeks each year. Our hiking group make a special point of visiting them each year. Note the little green beatles in the larger flower.
