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.

While this is listed as moderately fragrant, it is the most fragrant peony I have, other than Rozella. Most of the others are new this year.

This year the shrub is much larger, I've already cut off two blooms before more rain and wind came. Today there are almost a dozen blooms, some large, others smaller. It has a wonderful rose fragrance, and is generally pure white even though in one photo there is a red fleck in the interior. We were having some cool nights, and I've heard that cool weather will bring out those kinds of markings; this is the first time I've seen a red streak.

I picked this peony because the hybridizer came from North Dakota, as did some of my father's relatives. I think the only other white peony that I've seen lately is Festiva Maxima, and might try to find it for this fall's planting.

Amalia Olson does need staking in rough weather, it's blooms are held well above the main foliage, but it's usually strong enough to take some wind and rain, and the blooms don't turn to mush when waterlogged.

This spring has been a year for RAIN. Amalia Olsen is still the best all around peony in my garden
