Very sorry to hear about Hines...It happens, and yes prices go up. Blame it on the cost of living not the failed sources. Everything is going higher price wise, not just plants and shrubs! Sorry again Hines to this happening to a great company! A buyer of your products for many years!

Now you know why your vendors will be raising their prices to your company. So you can bail out Hines, eliminate their debt so they can undercut your prices.
