If it's an Iris I believe it's a bulb

It is the seed head. I would take them off as they will sap the strength of the rhizome for next year

joanboston is right. I forgot they have rhizomes and if you deadhead your Iris it'll help prevent seed heads. Deadheading through the growing season will help ur pot. to expend its energy & produce more flowers also storing more energy in their roots to produce bigger and more flowers next year.
