About 4 years ago, I purchased some iris and received some wooden
markers for labels...used them for three years with great success
(ink still legible, etc.) *but* this year they started to break off
at ground level and I couldn't find the recessed part of the `stick'
....without digging up the whole bed.
My 17 yr. old daughter is convinced that the wood is helpful to
the irises....maybe she is right? :-)
