lol, isn't it a chore? i used to try to keep track of all my begonias and their status (pics and all) on my member page but i just got plain lazy. i remember what they all are when i look at them, but when other people would come over they would have to ask on every one...how much easier it would be for people just to read a label.
speaking of labels, i like to use laboratory tape (removes cleanly, bright colors, resistant to lots of things) for labeling. it's a lot less to hassle with than plastic tags, plus we have a lot of it lying around here. a bit spendy, though not much more than a stack of tags from a commercial nursery.

Here is a link that might be useful: labeling tape

That looks like a great idea, Ming! Pull it off and transfer it to another pot when you pot them on, and they're certainly not expensive compared to a lot of labels I've tried. Bill got some plastic tie-on tapes one time the blue jays thought made excellent nesting material, and they probably cost more than that too. I've never had venetion blinds handy so I've never tried that--some of my plant-trading friends use fast-food utensils, but I seldom eat fast food. I do buy normal plastic labels, but that's not working very well, and I have a bunch of metal markers for outside that have all sorts of horrible things happen to them, and they're much more expensive. I like the idea of being able to peel them off one pot and stick it on the next one especially. Thanks!
