You all made me do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carol

"That is not to many is it??????????"
Carol

rotflmbo........Carol you are killing me!!!!!!!

Your user name says it all!!!

And, I might add, I wish I had not seen the 40% off sale thread, I'm so tempted to get "just1morehosta." ;-)

Tanya

Well, I ordered also. And yes, I was among the group that thought they were done for the year. I picked out 7 hosta, but convinced myself I really have no clue where I am going to put so many, but 4 I just couldn't say no to:

Cameo
Ghost Spirit
Jewel of the Nile
Silver Threads and Golden Needles

I ended up speaking with Richard also (due to a glitch in their website with American Express purchases). He seemed like quite nice guy.

Susan

Thanks Lainey for the tip. I too am trembling with anticipation. I ordered Fried Bananas,Kiwi Jordan,Maui Buttercup,Silver Thread and Golden Needle, Fantabulus, and Hanky Panky. Can hardly wait!
Debbie

I even got in on the sale !!
and I'm way over here near Dallas Tx
The few that I have are holding their own.
Olga :)

Well now, wasn't that fun?

I don't know what Journey's End looks like. I guess it's a trip to the Hosta Library for me. Then I'll probably wish I had bought it.

Lainey

Lainey,

Ohhhhhhhhhh,you'll want it!Better order it--NOW!

I just placed an order too.

I had just ordered from Hallson's the other day and my hubby asked me where am I going to put these.
Silly question! I HAVE NO IDEA, (but I'll find a place somewhere). LOL

Here is what I ordered:

Dick Ward (thanks to Janice)
Montana Aureo-Marginata
Powder Blue
Jewel of the Nile
Zippity Do Dah
Olive Branch

Thanks to all the hosta "enablers" out there. I was making my list -
Cutting Edge,
Fantabulous,
Hadspen Heron,
Lakeside Hoola Hoop,
Limey Lisa,
Paradise Power,
Rock Island Line,
and Puck(I'm a Shakespeare fan)at 11pm last night!
I've met Richard several times, and he is as nice as he sounds. Nice man, nice plants - thanks again for the alert.

Oh, man, I missed Cutting Edge! Now I am a victim of my own post.

"I will not buy another hosta. I will not buy another hosta. I will not buy another hosta. I will not buy...."

Lainey

Yeah--you will, Lainey! LOL

You guys are such terrible enablers!! I have absolutely NO room left for any more hostas right now, yet here I sit, at my computer, with a virtual shopping cart full of hostas at NHH. What to do?

Buff

buff24,

only one thing to do----check out. :0)

Carol

I must be crazy--but I'm just carrying on like everyone else right? I love the company!!!! I wasn't going to order until spring, but then I thot of the price as well as the fact I'll get a head start on growth by buying and planting now. So I ordered:Allegan Fog, Emerald Ruff Cut, Alligator Shoes, Cutting edge, and Blue Mouse Ears. Notice there are some smaller ones in the list!!! And no giants!!! Now what does that tell you???? LOL Mary

It tells me we're all nuts over the giants! They are truly impressive, but it's hard not to go ga-ga over h. Blue Mouse Ears and h. Pandora's Box.

Looks like you got some good ones, Mary. Way to go!

Lainey

Here's what I have in my virtual shopping cart, still trying to talk myself into checking out and finishing the transaction!

Cutting Edge (Janice has one that's gorgeous)
Dick Ward (Again, Janice has one that's awesome, I had one that died.)
GE (Have never tried one, wanted to see if they're really "difficult?")
H. Venusta (Looks like a very cute mini, always room to squeeze in a mini, right?)
Key Lime Pie (Everyone else is ordering it, I can't be left out!)
Manhattan (LOOOOOVE the ripples)
Spellbound (Anyone growing this one? The description sounds cool...)

Buff

you would think i was old enough Not to give in to peer pressure but you just MADE me do it...Abiqua drinking gourd,Blue Haired Lady, Dick Ward, and Paradise Glory.
and, yes, i Do still have some in pots yet to be planted.
these are the very last.
these are the very last.
these are the very last....andi

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!

Lainey

OY! So I did it... I placed my order. I got Cutting Edge, Dick Ward, GE, Venusta, Key Lime Pie, Manhattan, and Spellbound, for the bargain basement price of $64.64 (including shipping.) How could I possibly pass up that 40% off sale?? Now where the heck am I going to put all these? I have no idea. But I just couldn't help myself.

Buff

Buff--I wish I could be a better 'influence'!;o)

Anyone receive their order yet? If so, how is it? Pics of your new babies would be most excellent. Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Thursday) via Fedex.

Buff

Well...yes I did receive my hostas. The were packed very well and were all a nice size, especially for the price. The only problem is, I was sent someone else's order.

I did call them and they said they would send out the correct plants to me and I could keep the ones I was sent in error.

Susan

I got mine in today. They were impeccably packed so there is no damage, they were potted, so no dry roots. Silver Threads and Gold Needles is small but there are several divisions in the pot. Lakeside Coal Miner looks like 2 mature divisions, with beautiful glossy foliage, and Key Lime Pie is a single division, but mature and very pretty. I haven't taken photos, but I may if I get time to get batteries for the camera. I'm very happy with my purchase and wish I'd bought more.

Lainey

Lainey, there's still time to place another order...

This place is right around the corner from my home...sooo, after reading this thread, I headed over last Saturday. I am now the proud owner of:

Manhattan
Paradise Power
Peppermint Ice
Royal Tiara
Summer Music

If the sale is still on, I may have to visit again on Saturday...

I caved and bought a few today too
Americana
Last Dance
Sleeping Beauty
Blue Boy
Glen Tiara
Samuel Blue
sieboldii 'Subcrocea'

Lainey, I placed my order last Thursday--how long did it take for yours to come? I'm hoping my order will be here
tomorrow!!! Most places try not to ship until a Monday or Tuesday to avoid having them sitting in a truck or terminal over
the weekend!!

Janice, what hostas did you order?? I just ordered on Monday, and according to the Fedex tracking, it's scheduled to arrive tomorrow (Thursday). Did you get a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number?

Buff

Thanks for the info about the sale. After playing around with my shopping cart for about a week I finally ordered:

Cherish
Cameo
Cracker Crumbs
Emerald Ruff Cuff
Hanky Panky
Jewel of the Nile
June
Lakeside Elfin Fire
Maui Buttercups
Revolution (I really needed a white centered)
Silver Threads & Golden Needles
Spilt Milk
Striptease
Sum & Substance

How did I do for a newbie? I bought a lot but I don't have as many as most of you guys. This probably brings me up to 65-70 now and I'm done buying this year (hopefully there won't be any local sales to tempt me). I know where S&S is going but I'm not sure about the others but most are little. My husband might find there's not as much grass to mow next week. :) My mother will be happy about that too since she steadily keeps trying to move half of her daylily collection in between my hostas.

Janice,

I ordered mine on Thursday, just as you did. You should be able to track yours. Sometimes the post office or UPS gets all screwy. Once I ordered a part for my stove from Indianapolis which is just 90 miles north of me. It was taking forever to arrive so I checked the tracking.

First it went to Detroit, then it went to Camden, NJ, then it went to Buffalo, NY, then I called and complained, then it went to Cleveland and Cincinnati before finally arriving at my house. It took almost a month. The company had no explanation. So tracking and complaining to UPS or whoever the carrier is, usually gets results.

I hope yours arrive soon, but even if they don't, they are in pots, very moist, with wet newspaper on top of the moist soil, and the whole pot from the crown down, wrapped in cellophane. NO chance of drying out.

Let us know,

Lainey

I got...
Faithful Heart
First Mate
Lakeside Hoola Hoop
Lemon Frost
Sleeping Beauty (for my 7 yr old granddaughter)

Mine won't be coming for a few weeks cuz I'll be gone so I requested later delivery.

Char

Hey Lainey--I just received my order--Fed Ex!! All plants are small but muliti-eyed!!!
I am very pleased and would not hesitate to order from them again, based on the
appearance of what I've just received!

Now--WHERE will they be planted?? Maybe, I'll up-pot them and keep'em till Fall of
next year to find a spot--the wisest thing, I know, but---------I bet I'll find
a spot sooner and feel secure enough to plant them!!!

But, then--on the other hand, the Southern Blight thing I'm dealing with, may cause me
to cool my jets, till I can be sure there isn't any coming in through the soils!
I got it SOMEHOW and with well established plants, but one of the ones I've ordered
from someone else had a tad of it! I'm wondering, how long that stuff lays dormant in some cases!!!
I mean--it showed up on a hosta I had planted for 3 summers with no occasion of it (that I was aware of)
before this summer!!!

And, one of the hosta I absolutely abused to be rid of it, came back with it RAMPANT in the pot
I had placed it in, with all new soil, etc. so the plant must be able to host it,
and even may not APPEAR to have it, and yet can have it--obviously!!

All this rambling to encourage myself that sometimes a hosta can host things
not apparent to anyone, including the distributors so 'caution' may be warranted
in quickly placing them into an established bed with other healthy hosta!!!

I just got home and found my order waiting for me... this is almost like Christmas! Anyway, most look like single divisions, but appear to be mature and are good-sized... I'm very pleased with my order! I will try to get a picture of my new babies and post it later.

Buff

Mine arrived too- 8 hostas- 1-4 eyes, well packed, and all fat and happy. The plants are husky enough that I would have paid FULL price for them. Such a deal! Thanks again to botanybabe for starting this thread.

Look...aren't they beautiful!

I ordered them on Sunday, and they came on Thursday.

All of them have 2-4 eyes and are thick and lush.

Although, the one thing that I like about ordering by mail is that they usually throw in a surpise freebie.
There was no surprise with this order; but getting all 7 for $50.84 including shipping...It is better than free.

I purchased (from back to front):

Independence
Grand Tiara
Amber Tiara
Diamond Tiara
Puck
Olive Branch
Emerald Ruff Cut

I definately will buy from them again.

Very nice. They are a good size for sale plants.
Pam

How cute!

Now excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard.

I got mine yesterday and love them all!

I'll too will order from them again for sure.

Deb

According to the tracking # I got last night, mine should be here tomorrow.

Oh, all right all ready......I just couldn't take it another minute. Soooooooo, here's what I ordered today from NH Hostas:

Bob Deane
Cheatin' Heart
Fair Maiden (thanks to ken, this is my second one)
Fragrant Dream
Fortunei Hyancinthina
June (second one)
Potomac Pride
Samual Blue
Tok Aureonebulosa
Ultramarine
Zippity Do Dah

All for a mere $80 and some change. Great prices and I expect great plants if they ship according to what I have seen on this thread. Thank you to all you ENABLERS!!!!!!! (he he)

Tanya

Tanya--we're just doing our job, ma'am---and, SOMEBODY'S gotta do it--AND, it might as well
be we--who have had it done to us, very well, as well!!!! ;o)

Birds of a feather..........and we make a great flock!

gawd you people are enablers..

rotflmbo ...

ken

Yeah ken, like you're NOT one of 'US' ("you people") with all your gorgeous photos of what you have!!!
There can't be much you don't have to wave under our noses and drooling mouths to entice us with !
You are probably one of the BIGGEST enablers we have in this 'family'--dysfunctional as we sometimes are,
as well! ROFLMHO

Ha! I had to back for a second batch because I wanted Potomac Pride so badly, of course then I had to pick up 3 more to go with it, just to make the cost of the shipping worthwhile! We are hopeless! Well, at least I am.

Lainey

Thanks for the info about the sale LOL!!! I have no idea where I'm going to put all of these LOL!!!! I ordered..
Christmas Pageant
Dance With Me
Eternal Flame
Great Expectations
Hanky Panky
Heavenly Tiara
My Child Insook
Silver Threads and Golden Needles

Last Dance, Samuel Blue, Americana, Blue Boy, Sleeping Beauty - top row
