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.

‘Best Wishes’/CHEsnut/’Curiosity Grimpant’ = Grimpant à grande fleur… l’hybride de thé ‘Curiosity’, introduit par Cocker d’Aberdeen en 1971. Celui-ci, sport de ‘Cleopatra’, offre les mêmes fleurs doubles, écarlate et jaune, sur un buisson bas, la mutation portant sur le feuillage, qui est vert et blanc, et joliment lavé de rose sur les jeunes feuilles. Alec Cocker a établi, avec l’aide de scientifiques, qu’il s’agit bien d’une mutation et non des effets d’un virus. Mais la végétation de ‘Curiosity’ est malingre, probablement par manque de chlorophylle. Il semblerait que son sport grimpant soit plus vigoureux, aussi vaut-il d’être testé. Il est à port érigé et apparemment de hauteur moyenne. Chessum UK 1996.
