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.

p26 Pamela Morrah. What's New in the Trial Ground this Year? How I wish John Simpson could have lived long enough to see his own seedlings winning success in the trials he launched and supported for years. His phlox-pink HT 'Anne Kercher' won the Silver Star of Palmerston North for the best amateur raised seedling in the trial. Budded with selected buds on to the best of understock (the result of John's many years of testing), Nola Simpson's entry on John's behalf performed well, with good health and plenty of continuing colour through the two years.
