Nice one,  the one thing that impresses me is the label.Its a great way to document and record in the field plant names. It gets pretty confusing out in garden jungle whos who’s who in plant world. Or the memory is not what it used to be one of the two.

Nice color.  Mine looked REDer two days ago.  LOL  Gotta remember to not leave the house w/o the cell phone.

Years ago we talk down some old window blinds w/Aluminum blinds.   They make GREAT plant signs.  Get a PAINT MARKER (not a ink marker) from a hobby shop.  The paint will last for years.  On the flip side I use pencil which also last years.

Yes I find pencil is the best, at least that helps to remember them until the memory fades. I find Cham hookeri are a much better red than macrocarpa. I have a lot of chambeyronia both hookeri and macrocarpa and they all show different red colours constantly even the same palms, one season bright red or scarlet red then the next leaf a totally different colour, not sure if it’s to do with heat and moisture or anthocyanins all I know is they all show differences all the time.
