That's a clever idea, putting it at the bottom of the pot! I meant to say that yes, I think all growers, novice and experts alike, should work hard to make sure all their orchids have names. I guess for some of those random phals you get from the big box stores, there's not much you can do about those bc they rarely have tags - but for the others that come from actual orchid vendors, those should ALL have tags. Imagine someday having this huge specimen plant you've had for years and years and not being able to show it at your society show because it doesn't have a tag!!! That would be terrible
I do have the plastic stakes with names from the vendors, and they aren't too bad. I would definitely prefer something more pretty, if there was a way to do that! A clear glass stake with a clear sticker label made on the label maker sounds really pretty to me! Especially if the font could be in some sort of pretty script or something - it would make the orchids seem very exotic
