Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Suprise Seedpod

My Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (aka Indian Night Jasmine) made a seedpod ! I had never seen one in person before I think its kinda cool. Anyone know how to plant the seeds? Here is a photo of the pod. I kept missing the flowers this year when they opened up at night but I guess the moths or whatever pollinating critter found them. I took a few photos on a cloudy day: usually the flowers fall to the ground in the morning when the sun hits them. They have a sweet honey jasmine smell similar to the cestrum nocturnum (night blooming jasmine) but not near as strong/overpowering. I think they smell better :)
