Thanks for those pearls of wisdom, Mark. I've been complaining to myself that I haven't figured out the way to tell when these iris seeds are ripe. I remember now that back on the NARGS forum you said you picked the pods green, but at that time, both species were too small in my garden to produce. And now (years later) when I get seed, I had forgotten your advice, and I usually end up losing most of the seed! Last year, on my own impetus, I did open a koreana pod that I though might be ripe enough, but not so. I have to say though, that trying to "crack the code" or learn the method is all part of the fun.
