You should be able to keep those viable, and probably blooming, in containers. I'd just treat them like container plants til you get to your new home, so just remember to add drainage to your 5 gall buckets. Daylilies, even the newer varieties, are almost indestructible. If you do get bloom, the only thing I would encourage is deadheading. While the plants are in pots, you're going to want them to be putting their energy into keeping their root systems healthy, not in setting seed. The best new plants are from division anyway, so there's no need to save seed. Do you know what varieties he gave you?
