I tried posting in the Morning Glory Forums...but somehow it was not working.

Anyways-

I purchased Japanese Feather 'Pale Pink' morning glory seeds. The vines have now blossomed into beautiful flowers but I have noticed that when the flowers bloom:

1. The flower will die at the end of the day
2. Fall off
3. Then the stem turns yellow and falls off.
4. No Seed.

It has been doing this for the last few weeks and bees have been around it, even I have tried hand pollinating them. Now it's been doing something different:

1. The flower blooms.
2. The flower dies.
3. The stem is holding onto the dead flower.
4. The stem is still very much alive but is now tilting downwards.
5. The flower then falls off.
6. The stem is still very much alive.
7. But where the flower once was, the body feels like it's swelling.


I haven't seen any seeds yet. When a morning glory is about to produce seeds, does the flower stem go tilt downwards at all? Many of them are now doing this. Here is what the flower looks like.
