Harvesting Coleus seeds?

I have a few interesting Coleus plants that are in flower . I was wanting to collect the seeds to see what type if plants can grow from them but the flowers are sooooooooooo tiny and I can't see any seeds anywhere as the flowers dry up.
Does anyone know what I can do to collect these seeds?

I wait until the flowering spike is dried and then cut them off and let them dry further. You can also cut the stalk off when the flowers are still developing but mostly developed. Stick that in water to keep it alive and ripening.

Hey there Spacey,
Harvest, as per (mint, or sage, or basil). They make spikes. Watch the flowers, watch when they die, and the areas for the seeds to mature.
cut the spikes as morbid doctor suggested.
I just got done cleaning husks off a bunch of rosemary seed (PAIN IN THE BUTT). LOL
good luck with the coleus, I have some of my own I am waiting for, to finish.

The seeds are about half the size of poppies, so just collect the whole spike when it dries and shake it into a bag or container. I had a plant with a humidity tent on once. The seeds actually germinated inside the flower. I had about a hundred sprouts, and I was able to transplant them.
