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.

Could ‘Blush Moss’ 1789 be the same as ‘William Hooker’ 1855?

No, 'Blush Moss' is a blush Sport discovered 1789, while 'William Hooker' is a slaty lilac cultivar by Robert in 1855, dedicated to the botanist Sir William Hooker. 'Hooker's Blush Moss' is also distinct from 'Blush Moss', and attributed to the nurseryman Stephen Hooker of Brenchley.

Thanks Jedmar. I think it was the 1860 and 1902 references in ‘Blush Moss’ that made me wonder.
Then there is the possibility that ‘New Blush Moss’ <1846 could be ‘Hooker’s Blush Moss’ <1847, but no evidence as yet.
