Rick, I beg to differ. It may be very difficult for a bee to pollinate a
tall bearded iris but beepods are very common for the medians. Given that I
cut bloom stalks very late, I have seen the occasional beepod on a TB but
the SDBs, MDBs and fertile IBs almost always have beepods. I germinated the
seeds from the beepod of PINK PELE (IB) this year.
