I wait till 4-5 days have passed for the new bloom, watch all the flies and other nasty insects attack the plant, then some weeks later I have nice plump seeds. Last year, I placed the ripening seed stalk into a loosely fitted plastic baggie only to have a raccoon tear it apart. The resulting mess fell into the pot and several seeds germinated and I now have several small starters. Beginners luck.
