This is the form of plant identification method I use. I use a slat that came from a discarded PLASTIC window blind. I use a permanent marker like 'Sharpie' to write the information on the slat. I'll often write date planted, name of plant and who or where I got the plant.

I like using the PLASTIC slat because once it's covered with soil it doesn't float away or come lose. It won't cut your pond liner, your hands, feet or mating fish that are thrashing about like some metal forms of plant I.D. can.
