References:
| From Wing Seed catalog, 1919: THORBECKE — (Am.) One of the most beautiful. Fine white standards, deep, rich velvety purple falls with paler margin and veined on white at base. Large flower. Two feet. 25c. |
| From Longfield Iris Farm catalog: THORBECKE: (Introduced about 1897). A clear sharp contrast of white standards and deep velvety purple falls. The flowers are carried on slender thirty-inch stems. In our opinion, a fine Iris and greatly underrated. |
