Even though the flowers fall off, the developing seed capsule
will still be on the plant. I have no idea which species you have
(any suggestions anyone?) but look at the top of the stalk where
the flower was and in time you may see a transluscent seed
capsule with lots of seed inside. The capsule will then split
releasing its seed.
