I like the little "daisy clips" myself - very simple and reusable.

OK, Google has failed me, probably because I don't know the name of the
product I'm looking for... Perhaps somebody can help.

I have seen people use tape guns to tie flower spikes to plant stakes.
So I know this exists. Basically it is a device that forms a little loop
of tape, you push it over the flower spike and support, and it presses the
open ends of the tape together on the other side and cuts the tape...
Simple... My fingers don't let me do twist ties anymore, at least in the
quantities I have to do them. Any more than ten is not really a
reasonable goal anymore, and I have hundreds of spikes to stake.

Enter chorus : (Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be
computer-cowboys).

Anyway, the tape itself is maybe a quarter inch wide, usually in good
old fashioned floral green. I've checked various floral supply houses,
etc, but can't find the the darn thing. Perhaps if I knew what it was
called I could find it more easily.

Any leads, tips, etc are appreciated. Or if you have any other
suggestions as to how a handicapped individual might properly stake orchid
inflorescences, feel free to share.
