Here is what I received: Hyacinthina Bob Olson Undulta Univitatta White Bikini Abiqua Drinking Gourd Maraschino Cherry Abby Quilting Bee, Then she also included, these plants: pink pom pom white pulminara pink/blue pulminara wild geranium Candy lily Coleus and a begonia plant.. now you know why I said it was litle Christmas. This has been so much fun! Thank you Cathy for doing this exchange. Corinne |

| lol lynn i know...all these trades are spinning around in my head,,,trying to keep them straight i am waiting for 2 boxes to arrive yet jill |
|
- Posted by newhostaaddict z4/5WI (My Page) on Thu, Jun 24, 10 at 18:17
| LOL, Lynne,,,it was me your box was headed for Arrived safe and sound here today...looking VERY well My box included 4 new to my garden and 3 on my wish list Ginsu Knife (this one is going to be one of my top 100, LOL) they are all getting a good soak,,,then into the ground they go thanks lynnem for the fantabulous box and thank you catbirdsue for making the arrangements jill |
|
| Jill, I'm glad you got them... Had to bend Neat and Tidy to get it in the box, I was hoping it didn't break... And I know the roots weren't huge on Tea and Crumpets.. but I think with plenty of water, it will thrive... I'd probably pot that one up first ... And again, sorry for the slug holes... I really have to start earlier next year on the slug control.. We traded several years ago! I saw my name on some of your hosta.. my, how your list has grown since then... I was trying to get some to you that you didn't have... |
|
| Catbirdsue, Please contact me at jimnfrank@comcast.net . I have had some problems with my laptop screen going out on me and I cannot get to my normal email. I need my partners name and address resent to the above email address. I had emailed you a couple of days ago but haven't heard back. Thank you. I would like to thank Lelan(ZZTopsoil) for a wonderful box stuffed full of hostas. I received: You really made my day brighter. I haven't been able to plant any yet but I did manage to get them all into pots. I had my back go out on me last week in addition to the laptop going out on me so I am a little behind on my end. I figured out how to use my Playstation3 to get online now but cannot access any of my old emails that were downloaded into the laptop that died. |

| I received a wonderful box from Margie, Grannyfifty. She sent Pineapple Sage African Blue Basil - smells wonderful Castor Bean Cupea Batface - always wanted to try one of these A beautiful coleus and 4 hosta Hillbilly Blues Carolina Sunshine Splash - I can't find this in the hosta library. Do you know more about it? And Yellow Splash - this one, I would love to see a picture of a more mature plant. It is totally different from Yellow Splash in the hosta library. Is there a dark green edge to your plant. I love the ruffled edge. Thanks so much for the lovely choices. Pam |

| Lelan, I am so happy you are pleased with your hostas! I tried to send ones you didn't already have. I just noticed that I posted what I received in the other hosta swap thread, so I want to again give a HUGE THANK YOU to woodthrush! She sent me 4 hostas and one heuchera that were all new to me. She must know my likes, because they are all PERFECT. I received hostas; First Mate, Teaspoon, Twilight Time, and Queen of the Seas. And, I got heuchera Dark Secret. They are all wonderful, thank you, thank you, thank you! |

| I want to thank Mao for my great package of HOSTAS! You are so generous. We have traded before at the Garden Swap. Your hostas look beautiful, missed you at the Swap. Thank you again, hostalavista |
|
| Got my hostas today!!! yayyyy.. I've got to get to job 2, so I'll post my bounty tomorrow! |
|
| I received: Heart and Soul, Bob Olson, Allegan Fog, Abby, Old glory, and Hillbilly Blues! My trader was Hostalavista, and I just have to share the note she put in the box: " I have put my Heart and Soul into this trade. Bob Olsen said he was in an Allegan Fog and he jusy met Abby, the other day while looking at Old Glory. I am so sorry this is late, I have the Hillbilly Blues!" Too cute! Linda, the hosta arrived in great shape, Bob Olsen, Heart and Soul and Old Glory are all new to my garden, and I want to thank you for a great trade!! |

| Lynne, So glad you finally got your hostas, I am such a procraste-nator! AND I hope I don't get BARRED from future trades! I'm so glad you got 3 new to your garden! I love the trades but don't really know what my problem was this time, I'm happy you liked them. Was hoping the poem would help me out on saying how sorry I was for sending sooo late! Hostalavista Linda |
|
| Linda, no need to apologize, I'm the one who should apologize for being impatient! So, I'm sorry too! All of my new babies are potted up until I get my new hosta garden ready. There's a burn pile in the middle of it, tried to burn this weekend, and it was still too green... hopefully by September! |
|
- Posted by hostalavista z5/6Oh (My Page) on Tue, Jul 13, 10 at 19:27
| Lynn, you had every right to wonder where your hosta's were but I'm so glad I finally got in the groove! lol...Here's hoping they grow good for you. Hostalavista Babee, Linda |
