KENAN'S GIFT

(Murphy, 2018) 32" M 7.5" dormant, diploid

This is a cherry red cascade, with a very green throat. It has 2 branches, 16 buds, in most conditions, but with good culture and rain, it bud builds and has 3 branches and 22 buds. Bloomed over 2 months this year. Out of Rose F. Kennedy x Earth Jewels. Unusual Form Cascade. Named for Kenan Witczak whose life was shortened by the rare Krabbe Disease. He passed away recently at 7 years old. His Grandfather asked me to name a daylily for him. His family and extended family have most of the plants, but a few are left. Fertile. I have 3 future intros with this as a parent.
Note, there is a law in Illinois now called Kenan's Law, that provides for testing at birth for this rare, devastating disease, THAT IS PREVENTABLE. When I think about it, and Kenan, I tend to cry, but tend to smile when I see this daylily bloom. Jim
