Robin - I did post a comment on the Forum, but I can repeat it briefly here:  I think these lilies are apomictic rather than self-fertile (i.e. they set seed without fertilization).  Several species are prone to this, most notably L. regale and pumilum.  Regardless of the mechanism of setting seed, they should be viable.  I would plant them as soon as they are ripe and dried.  They should flower in their second summer.
Good luck,

So I'm not imagining that lovely fat seed pod on L. formosanum pricei! Good. Does anyone know of other self-pollinating lilies? L. wardii seems to be also as it now has a fat pod and was not blooming with any other lilies in the garden.

Well, Ernie, does heavy fog and a little mist count?
