They look like bulbs to me. Mine have multiplied over the years all by themselves, I am sure by producing small bulbs like yours. Al

Not bulbs....seed capsules. Very easy to grow from seed, taking ~3 years to flower. It's their most effective way of increasing.

Thanks for the id Smivies. My intention is to try to grow some Scilla under my apple tree around a grouping of primulas. I had thought of transplanting some of the bulbs from my present clump, but having stumbled upon the seeds, I wondered if I could go that route instead. But I need to know:
do these capsules contain seeds?
do I dry them and save the seeds?
do I try to remove the seeds right now?
when do I sow them?
I found these 'seeds' on the ground, I did not take them from the plants, intimating that they are ripe. But they are green in colour and soft to the touch. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I am in Zone 5A, Ontario.

The seed capsule drops to the ground following the arc of the flower stem as it slowly wilts. The seeds are likely nearly mature but leave them in the capsule until it starts to open on it's own (should only be a few days or week). The seeds, when mature, will be black (they are probably white right now). Sow (sprinkle on the ground) as soon as they are mature.

Smivies: Thank you so much for your detailed instructions. I get a lot of satisfaction from growing things from seed - I guess it's nature's gift to us. The time waiting for these plants to flower are an adventure. I am now collecting seeds daily, they are very genrous re-seedrs. Happy gardening!!

I have gotten a nice colony by just letting those seed capsules alone to do their thing. But I know you want them in a different area. I would try to make sure they are as ripe as possible, not picking them up while they are green. They are pretty big, so easy enough to spot. I found scilla blooming this year in two areas at least 15 feet away from where any are planted. So somehow, those seeds got around!

Thnks for your post Linnea56. The seed I had were collected from the ground, dropped by the plants themselves, so I figured it did not mattter where they dried - on the ground or in the little container in which I had them. By the time you posted, they had opened up on their own and dropped the seed and I have planted them as advised above. Wish me luck!!

When I was collecting my Scilla seed pods, I noticed that some had been nibbled by a critter, a bird or chipmunk maybe. Perhaps this is one method by which they travel?

Also, the pods burst open in the container, but my seeds are brown, not black. I was planning on scattering them in my lawn, but must I wait to see if they turn black?
