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.

new -- what do these letters mean?

19 years ago

I am relatively new to researching irises for my garden at our new home and have come across a series of letters sometimes appearing in the name. For example

Iris Germ (ib) Agatha Christie

Iris Germ (tb) Breakers

other letters I've run into are mtb, sdb, sb.
