Naylor Creek/Land of the Giants order arrived

While I was traveling for work out of state yesterday I was hit by a driver who was under the influence. He jumped into my lane and hit me head on. :( Long story short my face, neck back look like I've been in a meat grinder. I'm not feeling so hot so I am wondering if I can leave my new little guys in their hosta hot tubs.

My order arrived while I was in the hospital. I asked my husband to soak them all separately in the buckets I had. And well he put them all together.

That being said here's my haul.

Naylors Creek

Journeys End

="http:>

Blue Berry Muffin (Paul this is all your fault)

="http:>

Irish Luck (Moc's fault) :)

="http:>

Guardian Angel

="http:>

Temptation (Bob Axmere's, hosta library auction's fault) LOL

="http:>

First Frost

="http:>

Land of the Giants

Ice Age Trail (several forum thread's fault) ha!

="http:>

Free Ann Kulpa :)

="http:>

Spilt Milk (Jo's fault)

Goodness Gracious somehow I forgot to take a picture of this guy.

Do you think they will be ok sitting as is overnight? None of the crowns is in water. I have pretty nasty whiplash so these aren't the best pictures.

Feel free to enable me further with photos of some golds to accompany my blueberry muffin. :)

Would love to see other pictures of any of the plants listed above. Or any other hostas for that matter. :)

    Oh, I'm so very sorry! Sending you encouraging thoughts and positive energy- take some time to really take care of yourself. Kudos to hubbie for taking good care of you and your new plants.

    I'll leave it to the experts to chime in, but when I had an order arrive and and couldn't plant I was told they'd be just fine soaking for a few days.

    You have some beauties there- I know you'll really enjoy them!

    Kate! thankGod you are ok...after a fashion. :-(.
    You are such a trooper, Bless you!

    Re your babies...they will be 100% fine sitting in water! even longer than a few days. Just change the water, keep it fresh until you can get to them.

    They have the perfect root systems - you'd think they had them brushed, they are so perfect! I was actually struck by that.

    BBEAUTIFUL hostas and for once, I am glad to be blamed for something, LOL.

    You take care of yourself....and...your very own Guardian Angel was on duty ... that watched over you at the time of impact...I am so thankful that "one of our own" is alright!! :-)

    if you need more time... BTW.. absolve hubby.. he had other things on his mind ... like YOU .. rather than the hosta.. crikey ....

    have him fill a wheelbarrow with some moist soil.. or even better potting media.... and you could hold them in total shade .. for a month ...

    especially if your wheelbarrow has rusted holes.. like mine.. and would drain rain water ..

    in the alternative.. dig one hole... maybe 2 by two feet... and stick them all in there.. and let ma nature HOLD THEM OVER ... until you can get it done right ...

    focus on YOU .. not the hosta.. blimey ...

    hope your recovery is as fast as can be ...

    ken

    ps: plant ann kulpa as GE... lots of white there... too much shade.. and she will disappear in a few years ...

    pps: i like the way you blame others.. for your purchases ... lol ... been there.. done that ...

    Thanks for all the well wishes!

    Ken, I think I've taken this blame game /enablement to a whole new level! Can I blame Bob Axmere for Temptation and Irish Luck? They were after all on the hosta library auction. :P

    Oh, Kate, I'm so sorry about your accident! Praying for a speedy recovery for you (and sobriety for the person who hit you.....sheesh!)

    You picked some real lovelies, there, and great sizes. Ice Age Trail always catches the eye for a double take, and Irish Luck is such a favorite. All great choices.
