If you go to home Depot they sell a set zip ties in a small tube. The ties
come in about 6 differnt colors and you get about 500 ties total. I use the
colors to mark the differrent colored flowers and they are also usefull if
you need to stake flowers such as foxglove etc.
I think the whole set costs about $5.

Hi all,

I've got a bed of bearded iris that are blooming now. There are 2 colors.
This Fall, I want to weed out one of the colors. I previous tried tying
yarn
around the ones I wanted to remove when they were in bloom, but when I
went
to dig them out in the Fall, the yarns had all disappeared. Does anyone
have
a better method for marking? The rhizomes are pretty crowded, so I need to
be precise. The foliage dies back but stays there to some extent. Any/all
ideas appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
