try Charley's greenhouse supplies in Washington State. I use his
markers with excellent results. They run about $3.00 each, but they
have been the best yet. Also don't discount using a pencil. They never
fade and seem to last as long as the label does unless you rub on the
marker. I also use a silver paint pencil that you can get from any
hobby shop or kmart. I don't know the name right off, but this silver
paint pencil last for years.

I would be interested in this as well as i am currently growing a
Nepenthes I call N. "unknown" because the label faded beyond
legibility. I am currently using waxy pencils intended for marking
tiles and I'm happy with their durability but they do not have a
very fine point.
