I'm new to streps and am wondering, how do I know if there are seeds formed in the spent blooms? I have noticed that 2 spent blooms on my 'bristol's ant eater' look different from others, they didn't shrivel up and disappear. They have stayed tall and thin and I'm wondering if that's because they have seeds. Anyone know? And if they have seeds I wonder how many they usually make? Enough to share with you all I hope.

(Note this pic was taken a month or 2 ago, so it doesn't show the plant with spent blooms)
