(1948) Other gardeners recommend Anna Elvira Nash as being very fine, large and richly colored. As a single stalk I found it small, a self of thin substance, with clasping falls, but domed, slightly ruffled standards, the beard white in contrast to its unusual shade of redviolet. It is late, and the stalk, though thin, is straight as a rod. >A Critical Evaluation of Older Iris, A.I.S. Bulletin 110:54/July 1948
