I've just fished out of the shed some I bought years ago in Woolworths and
they have a price tag of £1.69 for a pack of 6. They are just called 'plant
stickers' (very original) and the company is Erin Marketing Ltd, Astonia
House, Baldock, Herts. I used 4 of them about 2/3 yrs ago for a climbing
rose and they are still going strong although the rose could be better!
