It might have been introduced as a giveaway iris or bonus if you
spent X amount. I do not grow it.

If you still have the catalog, you might look it up.
Also, there is a thread on this subject somewhere in the
archives in which it was the consensus that bonus irises were
inferior. However, research showed that Schreiner bonuses won a
lot of awards making their bonuse, as a whole, equal to the regular
introductions. INDIGO PRINCESS, as a bonus introduction, won an
AM for Schreiners. Currently, we have rave reviews for LUXOR
GOLD, which was introduced as a bonus also by Schreiners.
I am still trying to figure out the merits of OVERNIGHT
SENSATION. For me, it is in your HIGH BLUE SKY category.
