murkov2,
You are welcome. I can't use the toilet method either for the same reason you mentioned. Otherwise the idea would be great and cut the soaking time in half.

Wait to pick the pods when light tan color and start at the top to split. Mine never turn brown. If picked too early, they may not germinate.

1] pod ready for harvest. By end of August mine are all harvested. Note that the color is not brown but a light tan.
2] The seeds change color after 1 week of drying. They also become hard.
3] Iris seedling 2 weeks old potted in 6-packs. Sprouted in April
