Martindales Nursery

Pens Martindale Landscape & Nursery is located in Summerfield Florida. That is what is listed on my invoice.

I wanted to post a pic..... but forgot my camera this a.m. - My little Cherry Cola from Mark BLOOMED yesterday! It was only about 4-5 inches across, but just as gorgeous as can be! The plant is maybe a foot and a half tall... I kept an eye (and camera) on it and captured the transformation! SO lovely! Okay, you guys GOT ME on the browns... (where's my spring hib list?..) I was really quite mean to it, I finally got some stuff potted yesterday and it was repotted along with everything else I had on my to do list.... I added worm castings to the promix and a water solution of H202, seaweed and superthrive. (I could hear em' all cooing) - the bloom didn't even wilt.

;oP

WOW!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE Yoda and the Gommer hibiscus!!! STUNNING!!! Now there's a fire-y brown!

This is a new seedling that opened yesterday. I kind of like this one. I had three from this cross

Didn't you see the fine print on Yoda, Cat? Only one per customer! :)

Shirley, you amaze me...your own seedling...and very nice color.

Tussee

Super pretty seedling, Brugie!

Nooooo, not my seedling. I grew it from seed I received from the Hibiscus society. They didn't say who made the cross.

I do have some seed of my own to start, but can't tell you who the pollen donor's are.

Dear Cathy,

Hope your plants are doing well. I have put up the first version of the
new update of our web-site with some new cv's including Barry's. I will
be working on content over the next couple of months. When you get a
chance take a look. When you first go to it you may need to refresh each
page to clear out the old from your computers memory. Open the site--hit
refresh--go to new additions and hit refresh again. You should notice a
change on each page---if not hit the refresh button.

Let me know what you think and if you see any glitches or mistakes. I
have been looking at a computer screen so long I can't think anymore.

Take care,
Matt

Hey Cat, no matter how many times I hit refresh, I only see the front page with Yoda, Irish Spring and American Maid. Is there more besides these, and are these three ready for sale????????????????

Where's my credit card (oh, did you say, it's melting??????) LOL ;-)

What's that terrible moaning sound?
OMG!!! It's getting louder!

ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

DANG! IT'S MY WALLET!!!!!!!
CALL 911! WE HAVE A SITUATION HERE!!!

AHAAAA! TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS RUNNING AMUCK IN THE STREETS!!!

OH THE HUMANITY!!!
VISA CARDS RUNNING AROUND WEARING SIGNS SAYING 'WHICH WAY TO MARTINDALE'S" !!!

(Associated Press release)

I just went and took a look...my credit card will be ready and waiting come 2008! If you go to the album, it shows all the new ones but on all of them it says coming in 2008, so I don't think they're available yet.

Will,,, I looked at the web site, and I have 8 of them on my list for next year. OMG am I ever going to need a bigger GH next year. Or need to get rid of some of the things I have now.

Gosh, I do love that Persian Rug. I can see that hibs are going to be much like brugs. Use them a couple of years and throw them out, a few at a time, to make room for new ones. What will I do when I get to the point of not being able to throw one out? LOL!

I've found I always manage to accidentally kill a few here and there, that helps me always have room for new ones!

I never thought about that. I do have some that I'm not keeping this year. They are all seedlings. I guess I could give them to friends, too.

When I find I have a few that I have lost interest in, I wait until my boys come home (they live around Houston) in there pick ups and I send a few home with them. That way when I buy a new one I don't feel like I am over doing it. Hehehe. They are always happy to get a new Hibiscus for there garden for free.

Linda, that is a marvelous way to share plants and help beautify the earth.. ;) 8 on your list, from 1 look??? I haven't looked.... I'm afraid, too! I counted 15 that I will winter over, but I'm sure I'll lose a couple....... gotta go. (to the link above)

The link is even more updated than this morning.
Start with letter "A" and work your way through :)
