Yeah pity that!

Kata you probably know this already but it's very rare for them to pup naturally, they usually have to be forced by cutting off the main stem close to the ground. Maybe it won't work though once it's flowered already?

That is a very impressive flower. I wonder if the seeds are fertile and what colour the offspring would be?

Are the seeds likely to be true to the plant in growth, color, height etc Vag?
