Hey folks

I wanted to start a new thread on Martindales Nursery. I've known and done business with Mathew for 4 years now. Had the pleasure of going to his place two years ago while attending the hibiscus convention in Fl. Mathew, in my opinion, is the finest most consistent grower of exotic hibiscus in the country. This is also the opinion of many hybridizers throughout the country as well as they send Mathew their new progeny for him to grow out or graft. If you are looking for excellent quality 4" plants for a fair price Mathew at hibiscusplace.com is the guy to go to.

Now, if you are looking for excellent quality one gallons I think I can safely say that you won't do better than Robert Petisca (pizonne) at hypnoticblooms.com. Robert is relatively new but he is doing excellent work down there in Texas. I have high hopes and expectations for him and it seems that the people who have ordered from him are very happy. Robert and I have talked for literally hours and hours on hibiscus and business and we see eye to eye completely. He is interested in producing an excellent product for a fair price and customer service is everything to him. More importantly for me I'm proud to call him my friend.

I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to recommend two excellent gentlemen who grow the finest plants. Matt for 4" and Robert for the gallons. I, for one, am tired of hearing from customers their disappointing stories of vendors who hold their money for sometimes up to several months before they receive their product or pay high prices for plants that are barely rooted, misnamed or carry an entire menagery of insects. These two guys prove that growers don't have to take advantage of a customers love of hibiscus and be delivered something less than they expected.

I hope you folks will try and support the both of them. I would like to see integrity and talent win out.
