I have what I think is a seed pod on my pubscens. How do I treat that ? I guess I mean how will I know when it's ready Or should I just forget about doing anything with it. I didn't pollinate it .Mother Nature took care of that.

I would let Mother Nature take care of it. Mine only produced 2 growths and no flowers so hopefully more growths and maybe a flower or two next spring!

I would also just leave it be, and maybe the seedpod will burst and you will find some new cyp seedlings next year!!
I am getting a reginae from one of our nice members, and I hope it will bloom for me next year!

The pod should fully ripen sometime October, so until then leave it be.

If you want to flask the seed then you have to follow exact and somewhat expensive procedures, but it can be done even in an average home. There also are flasking services available. Here are some mentioned on Ron Burch's website (http://www.gardensatposthill.com/website/Flasking%20Service.htm).

As Tom mentioned, you can use a flasking service or let the pod disperse its seed naturally. Reginae is one of the few Cyp species that has been reported to successfully produce seedlings naturally in the garden. Rob Illingworth even reports that this species can be somewhat of a "nuisance" in his garden in that he has to often pull seedlings to keep them in check - everyone should have such nuisances!
