Could be a type of iris. I agree with nutcutlet. A photo of the whole plant would be very useful to us
Whatever it was it's not ripe, could it be off a peonie

I reckon your pod and seeds belong to an Iris foetidissima (Stinking iris) Lauren. You probably opened the pod up half way along the ripening process. They would go from green to yellow to orange as they ripened.
Are we a team Nut
Although you can spell, I can't!!!
Oh I'm wrong on this one. That is jolly well done nutcutlet. I doff my cap to you!
I think so Lyn

Yes, it's a dying tradition unfortunately. You are proving to be formidable with regards your knowledge of plants though. I am very impressed!
