References:

From Schreiner’s catalog, 1962: PINWHEEL (Schreiner 1962) M. 34". The unexpected always adds piquancy to the garden picture and in the iris world the so-called "fancies" can be depended on to create surprise. This quixotic iris of starchiest flaring form is far more unique when viewed from above in the clump. A veritable pinwheel of cascading color, ruby-burgundy on cream, derived from Karachi x Gene Wild, it has a lot of visual "bounce." The radial lines create a dynamic effect like the markings of a pansy or a Japanese iris. Very crisp and pert. Illustrated below Sdg. R 161-A: HC 1961. $20.00.
