TY, Elaine! If you can take your camera out there with you, pics would be fun!

I'm not yet observation-qualified to answer your question, Cheryl, but if it's been a few weeks since you saw the flowers, I think it's likely. That long after the petals shrivel, flower parts usually fall off of plants, continuing to shrivel, especially the peduncle, when applicable. Since the peduncle holding my potential seed pods is still firm & not brown, that's what gave me hope & the urge to ask about it. Seems like the peduncle has shriveled really fast when it's bloomed inside before, but I'm not totally sure, it's only happened a few times.

There's only 5 on mine, I'll prefer to wait & see what they do. Will add a new pic when there's a change, either way.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
