    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.

    It is interesting to note that Guerin succeeded in getting several of his peonies a touch of yellow, which up to this time was almost an unknown colour in this flower. Some of his varieties that had yellow in them were put out before the first yellow peony - P. Wittmanniana - was discovered. Three instances of what he accomplished in this regard are Grandiflora lutescens (1840), with fleshy white guard petals and a yellow centre, Reine des Français (1842), with fleshy pink guard petals and white centre shaded yellow, and Triomphe de Paris (1850), white with yellowish centre.
