References:

From Walter Marx Gardens catalog 1957: BALLERINA (Hall 1951) Each 2.00. Large, new flamingo pink of beautifully wide, fully fashioned form and delicate ruffling. It is a shade lighter than CHERIE, setting off the deep orange beard with great elegance. Heavy substance and sturdy, well-branched 3 foot stems. AM 1953.
"Ballerina, as I saw it on a single one-year plant, showed no superiority over Cherie, and was certainly less impressive than the big ruffled pink I saw in the Hall garden in 1947 under number 46-14, which was later registered as Ballerina. On looking up the catalog description of Ballerina I find it listed as seedling number 48-15, so there must have been a shift." John Dolman, Jr. (Pennsylvania), “From Aldan to Walden and Points North, Varieties Noted in 1951,” The Bulletin of the American Iris Society, No. 123, (October 1951): 15.
