[Arisaema-l] seed pod question

[2csh]

For the first time I have at least some seed from my A. kishidae, a Japanese species that does well here. The stem withered and I brought the green pod inside, and opened a couple of berries and it seemed like good seed inside. But do not want to harvest before the seeds are viable. 
Robin, what do you mean about "keeping in water"? I have found much better germination rate from seeds I plant if they are soaked in water for a day or two before planting, but I am not sure that is what you are talking about.

 In my experience, mostly, but not only with sikokianum, the seeds are ripe well before they turn completely red, so it might be worth pulling a seed or two off to look at them & maybe avoid all the fuss of keeping in water, etc.
