Six weeks in normal spring/summer weather is often (but not always enough
time) but in cooler fall weather? (ie: Oct/Nov) , 6 weeks may be more equal to
3 weeks of? spring/summer, or even less as daylight hours are shorter.

Plant growth is very dependent on temperature and hours of daylight.

Others may disagree, but I would believe that if the pods have had 6 weeks on
the plant and at least some sun and warm weather, the seeds are likely viable
already.  I would however bring the stalk inside and place it in a bright spot
or window and allow the pods to finish maturing as much as possible.  Good
Luck!

I have a iris that
rebloomed and it formed 3 pods in  mid Oct. The weather
has been unusually
warm for this time of the year  here on Long Island so I
left them alone.
However, the weather is finally  becoming much colder and
the pods are still
green. My first question  is what happens if the pods are
left outside on the
stalk? Second question  should I bring the stalk inside
my home to see if the
pods progress  further to form viable seeds?
What to do, what to do, what to
do?
Thanks in advance.
