INTERESTING INFO:
From the 1945 Schreiner's Iris Lovers Catalog: In new iris true originality whether in a novel new pattern or in color is a comparatively rare occurence. Generally an iris can be compared to another fo a particular similarity. The striking difference in Aladdin's Wish is the unimitated pattern of coloring which stamps this iris as one alone. Singular is the unexpected new manner of coloring. The whole flower is a lovely shade of ducet medium blue with brushings of cream radiating through the flower like the first rays of sun breaking through a lightly overcast dawn. The coloring is brushed rather than blended or perceptibly fading from one color to another. So uncommon is the configuration is immediately noticed. It is individually different from any iris and should not be visualized as any type of plicata nor is its coloring similar to the borderline white-blue or blue-white iris as White Wedgewood. In all our experience with iris we have never seen an iris like this. The flowers are very large, broad full standards and copiously formed falls; tall, 36 inch branched stems, good substance.
