When I subdivided some heavily wooded land, I found it almost impossible to keep track of the marker pins in the undergrowth. Following an old-timer’s advice, I planted a tuber of iris at each pin. It’s the old-fashioned toughthrough- any-winter kind of iris that we used to call “flags.” Each tuber grew and multiplied, and I’ll bet those pins will still be easy to find a hundred years from now.
