Ray,
this brings up another very interesting phenomenon when us hostaphiles
start accumulating large numbers of hosta. I had trouble with losing some
labels last year (we use a big leaf blower for the fall leaves and it's
inevitable) and while I am making some copper hosta tags for the main
collection, I always have tons that have plastic labels. I think that it's
starting to get rather difficult to keep track of them all, so I am going
to make some yard "maps" in Canvas and have a little physical map of where
everything is. I can't tell you the grief this past spring I experienced
when I could n't id everything!
