It's been my experience that air pods indicate a potentially fertile iris.
The pods fill with seeds only when the pollen parent is compatible. Bees,
BTW, are experts in pollinization so can sometimes make crosses when
hybridizers strike out. Doesn't hurt that they carry pollen from a number of
sources...
