Morning Glories: "Newbie" question on mg blooms, 1 by evr

okay, this might be a stupid question but, how long do I.nil close and open on average? I know it depends on the cultivar etc. I've only Xiongs that are blooming, and the first couple of blooms on the first day I emasculated and pollinated. And then I was told that the picotee/margin gets larger as the bloom matures so I wanted to see this. My fourth bloom i emasculated BUT I did not take out the petals. I don't know now if this bloom is pollinated or just closed. Is the picture below just a closed bloom or has it been pollinated? it's been closed for about 24 hours now.....

They are grown inside and the lighting has been kinda off because of the weather outside (natural lighting) and my lamps inside. Sometimes the blooms they don't open until mid afternoon and stays open the next day.

Please help? =/
