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.

A remarkably healthy plant. I've had my Duchesse for about 6 years and this year it produced 40 flowers. I had a major problem with botrytis this year and the Duchesse, Bartzella, and Moonstone were the only peonies that shrugged it off. The flowers are on the small side(around 5 inches)which probably accounts for its better than average rain tolerance--I might be able to get away with not staking it, but I stake it just the same because of the sheer number of flowers. It blooms for about 4 weeks straight, with many side buds. The fragrance is very strong, and similar to mock orange. It's difficult to use as a cut flower because of the many side buds that all open at different times and the short stems, but it's lovely just the same! It's also the only one of my peonies that butterflies are attracted to!
