(1948) Frosty blue Anitra is a Purissima seedling with the same cool grace and enameled finish. This tall iris, blooming so late, has an unsuspected substance which belies its delicacy of color. [A Critical Evaluation of Older Iris, A.I.S. Bulletin 110:54/July 1948]
From BIS Year Book 1938: "Fragrant Anitra's charming soft coloration with silvery glints on all segments..." -M. E. Douglas, USA
