Hopefully enabled my daughter

Sent off my daughter with the back seat of the crew cab pickup loaded with hosta and misc. companion perennials for an 800 mile road trip. First time she seemed really excited to get her yard decorated with hosta beds. I maybe should have gave her one of my Praying Hands as most things before have usually died. Here is hoping! This time she asked for plants or what to buy for northern BC Zone 3
Was going to get this decorated rock that had printed on " I tried but it died" but thought better of it.

Don , Yes and she hates it but it is in the heart of the oil and gas country and their work. They build drilling leases and roads and it pays for the house in AZ where she can spent the cold winters (easy to do computer book work and payroll) Granddaughter is in second yr university in AZ too so really a good excuse to get away from the cold , long winters they have . It has been raining most of the summer there so my duplicate hosta may live( x fingers)
