Today I found some small rhizomes in paper bags in my barn that I forgot all about! *Blush* They've only been sitting there for a couple of weeks, so they 'll be alright. They are soaking in some water right now.

Stacey, I just planted Dazzle a few weeks ago. If it does well by next season, I'll send you a piece.

I use cut up pots with paint pens as plant tags.

This reminds of another dumb head thing I did this year. Whistling I wrote numbers on the fans of the NoIDs that bloomed that matched up with the photos I took (example: 12 for NoID 12). I had meant to go back and make some tags, but ....you guessed it...I forgot. I did write the number on the rhizomes on some of them, but others I did not. I didn't want to pull a Tom and break off bloom stalks. Sticking tongue out Well, I tossed out several of the numbered leaves when I was cleaning up the dead leaves. I didn't even think about the numbers on them. *Blush* Long story short, that bed got dug up this year and I have no idea what happened to my pink and red NoIDs. I did keep a rhizome, or two, out of each clump, so I know I have them somewhere, but the question is where. Shrug!
