Pentas

For the first time this year, I planted Pentas.  I have red, lavender, and hot pink.  I didn't know butterflies love them!  There are tons of seed clusters on the plants and if I had been smart I would have harvested them all summer...but I didn't. 

What I'm not sure about is if I should clip them off now and let them dry or leave them  on the plants.  I did prune seed clusters off at different times in order to keep the plants blooming but I never saw any dry seed pods. 

Here's a picture of the seeds.  It's not great quality.  I'm having some problems with my digital camera right now.  Please take a look at this and let me know if I need to go ahead and clip these for drying.  I doubt they will be true to color as no effort was made to prevent cross pollination by the bees/butterflies.
