Default Iris.. questions...

Ok, after our Iris get flowers, they get a big pod where the flower was..
I assume that where seeds are, but they always en up sinking into the
water, and rotting. Also, they only bloom the once every year.. any way to
get them to bloom of frequently? (Water lillies are always blooming from
time to time.)

Any idea how soon that pod can be cut off, so the seeds could be planted?

===============================
I never noticed where they dropped their seeds but we find pond iris all
over the property. How the seeds get spread around is a myster to us. None
of ours ever bloomed more than once, always in the spring.
