Hi Bill,

A couple weeks sounds about right. I recall seeing some plants
just out of flower while some were already showing seed when I saw
them in the wild, so the wait can't be that long. The seed are small
(big for CP, though), black, round and very shiny. When ripe, the
top of the ovary becomes tissue-like, but even weaker and can tear
very easily. The seed themselves are a bit more secure, but don't
let them stay too long in wind, or most will be gone in a couple days.
