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.

Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies
Rashoomon. (Japanese origin.) 8.7.
Japanese type; large; midseason. Glowing rose-red guard petals which relax with age and lose brightness; center of slender staminodes with narrow, incurved tips of rose-red, edged yellow and pinkish buff on the back; yellow thread-like filaments; carpels ruddy at tips, shading to green, bright orange-pink at tips; good fragrance. Medium tall; erect growth; free-flowering; stems strong. Foliage clear, shining green.
A very handsome bloom, but lacks keeping qualities. The center collapses very soon, and the guard petals become lax and dull.
