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.

Sue Z tells me that Evenstar, planted as a small cutting-grown plant at the Petticoat Lane garden just under 4 years ago, has reached 8' x 8 (2.4m x 2.4) - very large, very dense, very healthy and very pretty.
And from my recollection, also very prickly.
Be careful where you plant it.

The original seedling is now even bigger. It has been cut back to 50cm stumps three times since 2010 and each time it comes back stronger. It is currently sitting at about 12' x 8'. Its branches have reached, and gone past, the gutters of the house.

That's quite some bush!
You'll be saddened to hear, as will everyone who met him, that Viru, who sent you the seed, has died. He was a lovely man.

I had heard. I sat under the shade of 'Evenstar' this morning and reflected on what a beautiful soul he was. It is very sad news.
