Another Lycoris question

Somewhere in the Lycoris literature, someone mentioned that cutting the L.
squam. bloom stalks and hanging them up (rarely) induced seed formation.
How long after the flower petals fade away is this done?

Yes, I do understand that L. squam. is a sterile triploid (I've had college
level Genetics), BUT I'm curious to see what happens--if anything.
And if seed is by some miracle produced, what then? Grow them in agar via
sterile tissue culture?
