Good to know. I have a giant bee pod on both Dazzling Sarah and Thornbird. They were pretty big before I noticed them and I did not have the heart to just stop something that seemed so natural.... nutty, I know. But every time I see them I wonder if I am sacrificing next years bloom. Especially since I do not have the knowledge, space or talent to grow irises from seed. Just recently I thought about having the seeds mature and fall into this particular iris bed where every plant is marked and controlled. hmmmmm..........
