The flowers are not all yellow Colocasia Gigantea has white flowers and some forms of the Black Colocasia stay black.

As for seeds I would not think many people would see any seeds unless they are pollinating the plants by hand. It is a bit unclear what pollinates Colocasias in the wild but it is usually unheard of in cultivation. Colocasia Gigantea maybe the only form that I know of that seems to self pollinate so see maybe see on this form easily.

As for the rest get you a razor and paint brush and a lot of patients to get your seeds.

Here is a pick of me squeezing the seeds out of a Colocasia Berry. I have never been able to see pics of Colocasia seeds aparently no one has ever take photos of it.
