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.

I do not know. A lot of the whole affair with 'Columbia' and its sports seems very confusing. Some of them have the broad, shiny foliage, and some of them have the Ophelia-type foliage. When I look at the local version of it, it has coral at the petal base. In breeding with this, I often get Pernet salmon and coral tones, which makes me feel like there may some mix-ups and renames, etc. of Columbia and its kin.

Henry Kuska used to tell us it was common and suspect practice to say a rose was a sport of, or a seedling of, a famous rose, such as 'Peace'. Maybe he is right, and maybe 'Columbia' was affected too. Who knows! But I do know I find this entire clan suspect and very confusing.
