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.

Re: "Miss Atwood"

*** Growing near Houston, TX: sub tropical zone 9a. Mild winters, hot, extremely humid summers that last half the year. ***

Purchased- Vintage 2011.

April 2013- This has been a very fast growing plant. It is now a little better than 4x4 and flowers almost continuously. The flowers do shrink some in the heat, but they keep coming anyway.

-- moved to a new house and brought her with me.

5/2014 - Planted in new garden (raised bed).

8/2014- Growing very quickly. Already a lanky 4.5h x 3w. I planted this one next to Miss Caroline (also from RPN), because they seemed like spinster sisters and I like the color combo.

4/2016- size is 4.5h x 5w. There is a giant salvia growing under her that has decided to take over the world. I'll probably remove it and give the Miss some room to breathe.

2/28/2016- plant is about 7h x 5.5 wide. (still need to take the salvia out)

5/2020- Blooms her heart out. Plant is about 7.5h x 10w.

March 2021- Severe damage from winter storm Uri. Temps down to 15 and stayed below freezing for 5 days. Had to cut down to green cane at about 3h x 3w.

5/4/2022- Has not really rebounded from freeze damage. Grown to only about 4 x 4 and putting out sparse flowers.

1/1/2023- Another deep freeze (was nearly 80 degrees the day before). Temps down to 17 and stayed below freezing for 3 days. 40 mph winds. Brown canes all the way to the ground. We will see, but I don't really have hope.
5/11/2024- winter killed. never even tried to come back.
