I don't think you can pollinate with an iris Hazeleyes. it is in the iris family - iridaceae - but not an iris per se. Look up Belamcanda Chinensis. It is from China and Japan and is certainly not a lily. It likes partial shade here, likes a lot of water during the growing season and to be on the dry side during the winter. A lot of people here try to grow these like you would an iris and they can not take the dry summer and hot sun. I grow mine in tubs this way I can keep them watered during the summer and pull them out of the sun in the hottest part of the summer. Good luck growing them Hazeleyes, they are a lot of fun. If you leave the seed pods on them later in the summer they open and expose a cluster of black seeds that look like a blackberry.
