Deadheading Amaryllis belladona

Does anyone else deadhead dying flowers of Amaryllis belladonna?

Every day or every other day I remove the wilting/dying flowers from each flower head. I simply pull down on the green pedicel and it snaps off cleanly at the base.  This removes any seed formation and may lead to more energy for flower development next year (?).  Besides, the overall appearance is improved.
