Sorry @Fairygirl - didn't see your question yesterday. Yes - good old t'interweb. Both fairly easy to come by. The Pen-Touch white marker pens are a bit like Tippex really but the point on the pen is nice and fine for writing.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
I've mentioned this elsewhere, but as a way of labelling ferns when I started collecting them I painted a sort of code on a stone and turned it face down. So when I wanted to check the name of a fern I just turned the stone over. I keep an index on my laptop. (Fern names are incredibly tortuous sometimes, you'd have a job to fit them on a label.) Recently I came across a photo I took last year. I divided an asplenium, and on digging it up found the name stone, still legible after twenty years! Of limited use, but might interest someone with a plant collection who like me, doesn't want obvious labels everywhere. NB. I mistakenly used gloss paint once. On lifting the stone it was clean but there on the soil were the letter and numbers....
