Rusty -- I agree with Mark Cook. Leave them where they are. Also, be
prepared for the eventuality that these "seedlings" may be, in fact,
leftover bits of the irises that were formerly in that bed. It may be a
couple of years before they bloom and you can tell. I have forgotten
your precise location, though I think it is in the southwest. At any
rate, it seems a bit late for seeds to be germinating, which is why I
advise the caution.
