Harvesting African Iris Seeds ? Propagation ?

Hello,

I have searched for this topic but I keep finding seed swap information.

I have two seed pods that have been present on an African Iris that I just planted this Spring, for at least a week.

I'm curious about trying to gather the seeds and wondered if anyone had any suggestions. I assume when the pod opens they'll blow away in the wind. Can I do anything to help harvest them ? A plastic bag tied around it ? Would that smother the seed pod ?

Does anyone know how long generally speaking until an African Iris seed pod opens ?

Any tips on propagation by seed if I am lucky enough to catch any ?

Thank you so much.
