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.

'Ivy Alice' a sport of 'Excelsa' introduced in 1927, is a very vigorous climber that is exactly like 'Excelsa' except for the blush pink color of its huge clusters of flowers. These double, cupped, antique-looking blooms, which have a slight fragrance, come on long stems and are good for cutting. When 'Excelsa' and 'Ivy Alice' are planted together, their flowers harmonize beautifully; if the canes are intermingled, the flowers all appear to come from the same plant. 'Ivy Alice' sometimes sports back to 'Excelsa'. When this happens, sections of its soft-pink petals are dramatically stained with red."
