Brian,
Most spices are self fertile. You may have to put the pollen on the center pistol using a paint brush. The pistol is not ready for pollen until it opens up and splits. Then dap the pollen on it. When the seed sack is just ready to split open the seeds are ready. You must plant them up in a few weeks. I put mine on potting soil in a take home container. The ones with the clear tops. Use moist not wet soil, sprinkle the seeds over it. Cover and wait. In two weeks you should have seen them sprout. For the next year they look like small grass growing. It takes several years for them to get large enough to flower. All in all maybe 5 years and several replantings.
