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.
