Thank you go-vols

I received the package yesterday and have most of them soaking in water.....DOn't believe I have any of them....Maybe one...the rain lily?? I have something similar...do you bring it in in the winter??? I do mine.....Are these ALL hardy in my zone????? What is a foam flower????? Guess I will have to look most of them up to see what they are...

Oh, I'm so glad it arrived! (I was starting to get nervous that the box might have gone astray, so I searched for your home page today, glanced at the threads you had started and breathed a sigh of relief! And you were probably wondering why I hadn't acknowledged this post - I'm so sorry!!!)

I hope everything arrived in good shape - it was delivered to the P.O. about an hour after I dug and packed the box. Let me know if you need help ID'ing anything. Foam flower is Tiarella. I *thought* that was the botanical name when I was packing your box, but I couldn't remember for sure...Here's the entry in the PDB: http://plantsdatabase.com/go/534/, and here's a pretty good image of what my established plant looks like: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=www.munchkinnursery.com/newsletter/foamflowers/chris-tiarella-wherryi.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.munchkinnursery.com/newsletter/foamflowers/&h=298&w=250&prev=/images%3Fq%3DTiarella%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN

The pink rain lily is a Zephyranthes, and I'm not absoluely positive of the species. I brought mine in last year (got them during the summer, and was afraid they wouldn't have time to get established before winter...if they get good and established, and are well-mulched they should do fine in your zone.) They'll multiply quickly so by next summer you should see lots of babies.

Holler if you need help deciphering anything else!
