Nothing as detailed as most of you, but I keep journals of all my plants and some sort of rough map of where
they are. I have hybridizer, year of intro, but that's about it. I generally keep a list of what I receive from someone,
and update my plant files here as needed. I also keep my bills of lading or shipping as an additional record.

Many of my cultivars, I fear, are turkey NOIDs, but that's due to the fact that we have recently downsized and
are redoing a garden of many years standing with lots of irises but, alas, no tags, nothing to ID them and some
of them are beauties. I suspect many of them came from Breck's, possibly a few from Schreiner's, because the
house was occupied by the family who built it until they moved to a nursing home. I simply walk around and
sniff for fragrance and admire them, unknown though they be!

Muddymitts (Mary Ann) here has shared generously with me, so I have some of hers that are ID'd, thankfully.
I have learned when dividing and replanting to bury tags with the plants, especially my DLs. Deer, pets, squirrels
and other creatures are notorious for moving or destroying tags, even the metal ones.
I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God it would be in a garden at the cool of the day. ~F. Frankfort Moore, A Garden of Peace
