OMG!!! Hallsons Order Arrived....(pics)

Post by hummingbird »

:o I'm so excited and couldn't wait to post, but my order arrived from Chris & Brian today and I'm in shock. These divisions rock and the roots OUTSTANDING.
My best order this year so far hands down.
Ok can you tell I'm happy as all get out? :lol:
Thanks Chris & Brian, I just might be making another order AHHHHHHHHHHH make it stop!

Ok got the are pics taken, you can view them at the links below.
Here's what I got...
Deja Blu
Key Lime Pie
L. Beach Captain
Spartan Glory
Wolverine
L. Shore Master
Komodo Dragon
Earth Angel
Liberty
Blazing Saddles (bonus)
THANK YOU!

-Some of these I ordered multiples. The Earth Angel and Liberty are much bigger/nicer than mine I had for a few years that just didn't do much growing for me, so now that these are here I'm tickled.
also some fern, astilbe, and brunnera (not pictured yet).

Glad to hear they arrived safe and sound :) I hope you have room for all those - some are going to be monster size in no time!

Thanks so much for the order - Now get those babies planted! :P

I have yet to see ANYWHERE that provides better plants via mail order (or really anywhere :lol: ).

You're top-notch, Chris! :bd:

The size of the root system always amazes me. No wonder the hostas always do so well. Looks like you got a fantastic group of plants there. I've requested a delivery after May 12th, so mine should be coming soon..... probably next week or the week after! :D

Charla you sure did girl! :lol: Of course I ended up placing another Hallsons order just minutes ago too :oops:

Renaldo I'd have to agree with you 100%, seeing it already.

Chris at the rate I'm going I'm not sure if there is enough space, but it won't be the first time I challenge myself to make them fit like my favorite pair of jeans :lol:
Not just the roots, but even most of the eyes are nice fatties. :o
They got potted up yesterday and I'll probably be planting them in their spots today and tomorrow. Still waiting for 1 big tree to leaf out so i can analyse my last possibilities for shade.

I'm excited for ya too Joan, I just may have them send some nice hostas to my secret trader.

I got mine Monday also! I ordered 3, Queen Josephine (to replace the one the gophers ate), Enterprise and Fragrent Blue and I got Pilgrim as a bonus!
Of course they are all big healthy eyes! I will be potting them up tonight. Thanks Chris :D
