Super great ideas so far everyone! Hope we can keep this going
& going.
How about tag colours & the use of them. I use yellow ones for all
the species, white for hybrids. An added red tag is for bug treated plants.

I tried colors once for potting date. I label everything with
the P-touch type of label maker and tape - black type on white
plastic with clear tape.

So I tried blue and yellow. The first year every pot got a blue
tag with the date written on it. - Just the date. Any pot not
tagged in blue - needed repotting. Second year the tag color was
yellow, any blue tags were to be repotted... Ran out of tags and
mixed colors and did not get done.. gave up. I could not see the
tags often.

I also tried colored tag to tell me this was one I wanted to sell
at the next os meeting or the next time I had a chance.
