I'm a little late joining this topic, but I've been reading everything to try to understand how to collect seeds from my butterfly bush. I still don't get it.

Here's a picture of a drying flower stalk. Are the seeds the brown, twiggy things that are sticking out from where the flowers were?Or, are these pods that have already burst? At what stage do the pods get collected and what do they look like?
