I love Lola.  I've been labelling mine Unlabeled-### or
Unknown-###.  (Sometimes I find things growing in a pot that don't match the
label or that I don't recall having planted.)  Aside from the label, I give
every plant an accession number (Yr-xxx) and I keep two data base files, one
alphabetized by plant name (including Unknown, etc) in which I maintain all the
plant's information and history, and the other a numerical list which translates
the accession number into the plant name.  Critters both bipedal and quadrupedal
do mix up some lables (why I have so many with names beginning with Un) but the
accession number is simple and easy to fix to the pot.
