I have just collected what I presume to be seed pods. The plant is one
of those things with a single tall stalk (a couple of metres), a red
flower on top and pointed leaves from the base (about .75 to 1 metre.
Even the name won't come to me at the moment.
Can I propagate them from these pods which I don't think are yet ripe?
A couple of photos of them are at:

Unfortunately I don't have a pic of the plant but they are not
uncommon.
Thanks
Regards

If the seed pods are green, you might not have viable seeds unless that is
how the plant drops them.

Sounds like a hippiastrum (please excuse spelling) seed should be
viable leave in a airy/sunny spot to thoroughly dry then plant and get
set for a long wait, weeks or months.If they are hippies much quicker
to look around the base/clump for stray bulbs (pups). god bless
