From AIS Bulletin #161, April 1961. Introducing MAGIC MORN (Hinkle 1961) ML. 38 in. As if by magic the subtle blush of morn is carried to this cool white, elegantly ruffled iris. A pale pink beard reflects its delicate flush over the wide hafts and lights the entire center of the flower with a lustrous glow. Appearing to radiate from under the domed ruffled standards, this light cast by the pink heard does not fade. With near perfect branching, and two buds to the socket, MAGIC MORN casts its allure over a long blooming period. Parentage New Love x May Hall. HC 1960. Each $25.00 Net. Gilbert Wild.
MAGIC MORN is one of Mrs. Hinkle's 1961 offerings. I shall order it from the 1962 catalogues. I have made a place for MAGIC MORN because it brings in a pink tinge I am anxious to see. The plant I saw was something no one could resist. [Carey E. Quinn, “The Modern White Iris,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 166 (July 1962): 11.]
