I have huge seed pods on my Casa Blanca Lilies. Should I remove them?

Ok, remove them, but anyone want to explain why? Are they ugly, do they drain the energy of the mother plant, are they carcinogens, is there no chance the seeds might grow something pretty?

Seedfork, I think you are right--they drain the mother plant. You will get bigger blooms next year if you take the seed pods off. The same goes with tulips and probably all plants with bulbs.
