Re: Rebloomers & Seed Pods

To all who took time to offer advice about my first-ever seed pods -- 
thanks! It really helped.

After being indecisive for a couple of days, I carefully broke the pods 
off today & brought them inside to see if they'll finish drying out & 
prove to have plantable seed, eventually. The pods are just barely 
starting to dry, I think -- put 'em in little bowls with labels & set 
'em on a counter out of the sun. Is this an okay way to do it?

All pods are from SDB's, 1 from Third Charm & 2 from Thrice Blessed. The 
former is smallish compared to the latter, which are both *huge* -- they 
remind me of Jalapeno peppers. I presume they were bug-pollinated -- *I* 
certainly had nothing to do with it! The plants are in the same bed, 
almost cheek-by-jowl.

Both of these SDB's are from Weiler, '81 & '82 respectively. I believe 
they've also both made increases this season, but confess that I don't 
remember how many fans/rhizomes each had when I planted 'em last August. 
I didn't know then I was going to get so fascinated with the whole Iris 
World.
