Sorry I'm late reporting in! Jim apparently thought a box with that many plants would be bigger (has he no idea of our mad packing skills?) and stuffed them under my desk. I found them yesterday and gave them an overnight soak. The tops aren't fresh, but the roots are just fine (and HUGE), so whether or not they push new growth this fall I know they'll come up gangbusters in spring.
Thank you for your generosity! I sure didn't expect a bonus because you were short 1 fan, especially when the fan I got was enormous. Joyanna is thrilled with her gift, too.
