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.

'Perfecta' and its deeper pink sports 'Pink Perfecta' and 'Perfecta Superior' were excellent cultivars and by removing a few petals we could 'manufacture' an even and near perfect bloom.  They would keep or a week at least in a refrigerator set on 40 degrees F.

Kordes Perfecta Superior, HT.  (Kordes, 1964); Sport of 'Kordes Perfecta' and almost  identical with the Australian sport known as 'Pink Perfecta'.  Actually the sporting occurred in Adelaide and Melbourne at approximately the same time as this sporting in Germany. In my opinion the parent is "superior" to the sport.

Mr. R. T. Hamilton, Heidelberg, Victoria.  
I have great difficulty in filling this last position.  After much haggling with myself, I give it to Pink Perfecta. This is a deep pink sport of 'Kordes Perfecta'.  I think it can fairly be said that 95 per cent of the people who bought 'Kordes Perfecta' have been disappointed with it, because of its blotchy colour.  Nevertheless, for an exhibitor who cares to grow it for the occasional glorious blooms it produces, 'Kordes Perfecta' is worth while.  In 'Pink Perfecta' the pink colour is suffused much more evenly throughout the whole bloom than is the case with 'Kordes Perfecta', and a far larger percentage of good blooms is produced.
