I have to admit that I'm surprised at how many Bearded Iris seeds germinated. Last year I went to look up information on when to sow the seeds and it was pretty much agreed that the methods of winter stratification or soaking the seeds in water for weeks were the way to go. There was talk about how some of the seeds are so tough that their purpose is to take up to ten years before they burst free from the shell. Something about how they're protected in case something happens to the early birds that came up.
It looks like just about every seed germinated.

And for personal records, I was given a couple more plants.

| Dutch Iris Miss Saigon and Garden Amaryllis Red & White |
After doing a search for Dutch Iris, it appears that they're less-liked because they tend to dwindle in number instead of proliferating?
The "Garden Amaryllis Red & White" looks like Minerva.
