References:

From Chevy Chase Iris Garden, Marion Shull catalog, 1926: PENSAMIENTO — Like the preceding ('Orchid') this is an earlier introduction. Color much like Perfection but richer and blooms later, beginning as the latter ends. Standards Bluish Lavender, rather erect and more or less fluted; falls Blackish Violet somewhat reddened, and bordered Bluish Lavender, wide-spreading to nearly horizontal. Flowers 5 inches across. Spathe valves much inflated. Name suggested by the rich pansy-like effect of the falls. Height 2 feet.
