What is the relevance of gold mining to Plant labels????????
I can see a gold mine would help to buy all the plants we would like to
have.


sorry, I should have modified the subject line earlier

here's an idea from NutGen:

self labeling tomato plants - as a tomato plant grows, the name and
cultivar gradually appears on the stem. Currently, the names are only
available in Italian, but English versions should be available 2Q 2005.

and here's a martha stewarty idea:

take a picture of a plant or pluck off a leaf
dry it in isopropyl alcohol (if using a leaf) or otherwise dessicate
write name on picture (if using picture)
laminate the sucker or intomb in polyurethane.
scratch name into polyurethane (if using leaf)
rub some native gold into the scratched name
add a couple more layers of poly for good measure
put outside next to plant

Huh. And I thought all the best nuts came from California. Go figure.
