It would be helpful to these folks if they were to visit our Canadian Iris
Society (CIS) website. There we have two articles specifically on iris seed
germination. One article is by Coble and Bauer and the other is the SIGNA
Iris Seed Germination Guide. Follow the link below to go there directly or
go to the CIS mainpage and follow the links to the "Articles of Interest
Index"
