My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Do some types of iris seeds float?

13 years ago

I got 500 large seeds that I think are the flag type on ebay. I thought I would try sinking a few in a vase on a sunny window and see if they would sprout for me.

They all floated. I know all about the float test but I also know there are exceptions. Is some types of iris an exception?
