Marking my lilies/plants

[Jeanie master]

I am trying to find a marker and tagging system in order to mark my lilies. So far, even though the pond is new, nothing has held up. Help...Ty

Not sure I understand.........

I think she means a plant tag so she can identify the different varieties. I'm interested too, @Jeanie master. So far I've not found one that works.

I got some lilies 2 years ago that were labeled with a plastic ribbon with the variety written with what looks like a Sharpie marker. Still readable!

I use a piece of white plastic and a marker still readable. They do make metal strips that you can engrave with the name,

$8.60 for 25

100 tags for 23 bucks

What about planting them in different colored or shaped pots? Im not sure how many different colors you could find but it might work if you only have a few different types of lilys.

lol I have too many for that, all mine are in black oil pans.

lol I know, sometimes wish I had fewer, but they are all so pretty!

I found a few floaters, the deer, in yanking on them, yanked them out of their pots. So for winter I need to do some get back in your pots grooming.

 

[bettasngoldfish]

Yes, they are beautiful I always enjoy your photos.

Floaters, gotta love them lol

They have really slowed down, the heat stopped a lot of the blooming.

I ordered the metal tabs from ebay, going to use them instead of my plastic strips, they will work a lot better.

I drilled a hole in the pot, close to the top, then tied the tag through the hole with a zip tie.

 

[addy1]

All the oil pans have a hole in them already, works great.

Hmmm, I need to check my Walmart oil pans.....not sure they have holes, but can't remember. I'm wanting holes, so I can attach plastic fencing over the tops next year, and zip tie them easily through the holes.
