I sure hope so, Pat.  The 4 I've had for about 3 yrs, plus the 2 new ones, are all historic.  Maybe that's the key to their survival here.  The 4 older ones all set bloomstalks this year too, although 2 sadly aborted after so much rain, so I've never seen them bloom.
 
There's about 30 seeds, so I may try a few methods, both inside and outside.

Hi El;

Those seeds are so very viable you are likely to have a garden full of Japanese iris plants next spring if you spread them. I have been getting rid of mine as they are hard to dig out and become an 'infestation'.

Low and behold, one of my 4 Japanese Iris set a seed pod this year. I opened it yesterday, and they look like viable seeds. Now what? I've grown bearded iris from seed, but certainly never Japanese iris.
