This is the faded corolla after a brug has been pollinated(it may also hang on like this even if the flower didn't get pollinated) DO NOT remove it, let it fall off all by itself. The only exception is when it's all brown and yuckie, or if the flower was a double, then you can remove it. I remove double flowers when they start to come loose at the top of the calyx, so the weight of the old dying flower doesn't pull the seed pod off, or cause it to rot.
