Iris virginica 'Contraband Girl'

The name ‘Contraband Girl’ is formally registered by the AIS as
BOTH a Louisiana Iris (1953) and as a form of I. virginica (1992).
Huh, the 1992 registration doesn't appear when searching the online
register. Curiouser and curiouser...
There is a possibility that the plant registered in 1953 was not
actually a LA iris, but mis-identified by the registrant.
Except for the dramatically different height the current plant does seem to
meet the original description, though there's not much to go on.
