some seeds need frost to ripen, this was probably meant to happen, i know some seeds that dont ripen until nearly spring because they need all the winter chills to ripen, so dont panick, just keep checking them as often as possible :0
also, beat ya, we've had snow here already!! unusual but cool :)

Bigred, I'm not sure, but I thought the climbing gloriosa lily produced a bulb. I've had some (surprising) luck with harvesting seeds from green seedpods, such as Datura. I did allow the seedpod to dry long enough that it began to crack open, but the seedpod itself remained green.

Rowan,
You can keep that nasty white stuff....LOL We don't normaly get snow until later in the year(Valentine Day this passed winter)
and some times
can be in shorts and shirt sleeves at Christmas.

Dirty,
I did grow the original climbing gloriosa lily plant from a blub but it also produces seeds.
