    Question Uh-oh...will this flower last?

    For some reason, the anther cap (green arrow)on a newly-opened flower is missing, exposing the pollinia (blue arrow). Does this mean the flower won't last long, or does the loss of the anther cap cause any effect at all? It's a newly opened flower and I want to see it for as long as possible...

    Note: The picture below shows a normal flower, without anything missing, of course.
