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.

Peter Lavings. At the moment I’m working on a strain of Dr. Huey which is recurrent, trying to produce large shrubs which flower profusely and recurrently. I have the one I’m using as a seed parent (I’ve named it ‘Mick Hurley’ after a local identity). It has flowers similar to Dr. Huey but smaller and with trusses of up to a hundred or more blooms, very recurrent and perfume elusive. I’m working on trying for colour variations and better perfume. I fluked it by growing a lot of Dr. Huey seeds intending to use them as rootstocks. I had about a dozen or so in pots to experiment with, but the main stems began too close to the trunk of the tree, making it almost impossible to get a bud in. Anyway I kept them in pots for a while intending to plant the best couple out as a source of rootstock cuttings, when I realised that one kept flowering. So I planted it out and when it developed large heads of blooms, named it after Mick Hurley.
