I find it so interesting to read what everyone does in their gardens. I am only a hobbyist but have a round 200 named TB iris. Always one more I want to buy. Having also such a lot of epis etc , I find that it is so easy for me to just number everything. I keep a computer record of all the info, name, where from etc and a bloom photo. I also keep a notebook for each collection, irises, epis , schlums etc , which I can easily carry around in the garden. The number system works well for me because all the iris are in rows of ten with each row also numbered on a stake at the head of the rows...eg.. 10 , 20, 30 etc. This means if a label goes missing ( helpful magpies) or fades, I still know which number it was.
