Irises Are Starting to Bloom

Last year I used a permanent marker to try to identify my irises when they weren't blooming so I could share particular colors with other iris lovers.  The permanent marker wasn't very durable.  So now I'm marking the greenery with the acrylic paint that is intended for birdhouses. I'm numbering them so I don't have to decide how to indicate colors.  I'll just match my numbers with pictures.
