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.

Pink Varieties
Marguerite Gerard (Crousse). 8.4. Pink. This variety is one of the most admired of Crousse’s productions. It produces a large, flat-shaped flower with broad petals. The color is a delicate hydrangea pink which changes, as the flower ages, to a creamy white. Many of the central petals, and sometimes the guards have minute dark charming flecks on the tips. This flower creates a wonderful effect in the field or garden. It is essentially a garden flower as it shows up best on the plant. Its color is very pleasing in itself but this combined with the wonderful attractiveness of its form makes of it an outstanding variety as it opens on the plant in your garden.
