I have good, solid aluminum markers. Probably some of them show in the pictures I've posted - particularly in the pictures of hostas in bloom. If not, I can post one when I get home. They are one piece; so don't get intertwined in garden rakes in the fall and if I push them in well in the fall they stay put over the winter.
The other thing I've found very helpful is to take regular (I try for once a week) pictures of my entire collection. Hostas w/o markers can generally be identified by what is around them in the pictures - that is, of course, unless I move them late in the season.
