Louisianna irises will grow easily from seed. Keep the pods in a
cool dry place until your spring then plant out the seeds either
direct or in seed trays. You will need to keep them damp. While the
LI will grow in water it doesn't need to be in water, it can be kept
quite well in the garden or a pot as long as you don't let it dry out
too much especially in hot weather. It will need at least part sun to
flower well.

I have no idea what these are or their history . I got a bunch of yellow
and blue iris from someone who advertised - can't remember if it was the
local paper or the online yard sale thing . These pods are from the yellow ,
which look a lot more like lilys than Iris to me .
I think the wife is going to be surprised next spring , she was a bit
disappointed this year , but all this stuff (iris , daffodils , roses ,
tulips , etc) was planted last fall and early winter .
