Efficiently adding titles and comments

[Leucadian]

I would like to add some info to my orchid (and other) photos. I don't change the file name of my pictures, to make it easier for the computer to distinguish duplicates, but mostly to not have to make up unique names on my own. I shoot with a Canon SX40-HS and an iPhone 7.

I want to add my catalog number to the photo, as well as the plant (or cross) name. This info should not be in the image, just in the EXIF data. Then I'd like to sort on that data.

How do you manage naming and ID'ing your pictures?

Thanks
