Question about harvesting seed

Do seeds continue to ripen/grow even after the capsule dehisces?  The reason I
am asking this question is that my Ismene produced several fruits this year. 
Some I harvested when the carpels split open; others I left in their split
carpels until they freed themselves (the funicle abscised).  I found the seeds
in the second case had twice the diameter of those harvested earlier.  All
germinated, but the second set were much plumper after germination.
