label pullers: was :Re: Scilla melaina in the rock garden

For those of us who at one time thought mini-blinds were a good idea, the
label use comes as a balm for our egos. Between the impossible to dust
geometry and the immediate irreparable mangling by house-cats, I had been
aching for a reason to discard them within a month of buying them. I have
been using a garden marker that survives direct sun for a few years longer
than the plastic tags I write on. My plastic tags usually fail from UV
embrittlement and shatter into at least three pieces when I stub me finger
while reaching for a pot. There is a very poor selection out there for
permanent tags and markers for collections.

Crows are also very active label pullers.
But they can't get into my bulb house, and I can, which is good because
it's awfully cold and wet just now otherwise. I'm trying out a new
labeling method, too: pieces of aluminum miniblind slats, fine-tip paint
pen, and clear "outdoor use" adhesive label over the paint. You can make
a label that can be read at a reasonable distance this way.
