OOPS! You're right--we sort of neglected the point of the story
inour frenzy to decode the acronyms, didn't we?
The point was that the iris Mike was bidding on was a dwarf iris,
which are smaller and sell for about half the price of TBs. He
didn't know that, so paid TB price for an SDB iris, much to the
amusement of the cognoscenti gathered round.
