HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Translation: June 13, 2010 Christening of the rose 'Minerva'...was developed exclusively for Lions Antwerp Minerva by Martin Vissers. He was inspired by the colors of the Lions International emblem: blue and gold. You can see this clearly when the thick, double purple-blue roses of Rosa “Minerva” are completely open and she shows a wreath of golden yellow stamens. The intense purple blue is particularly beautiful, fresh and combines well with other roses and flower shades. The unique color and a pleasantly sweet perfume are the result of 10 years of cross-breeding and careful selection. Rosa “Minerva” is a healthy spray rose with full flowers that forms an approximately 80 cm high shrub that flowers profusely throughout the rose season.
