First flower is dying!

A couple of days ago my first flower appeared on my 1 of my Apache plants which looked great. Today though it seems to be dying! I just recently moved my plants to the attic conversion to get more light, could the new location be the reason why it's dying? I'm gutted. Help would be greatly appreciated guy, thanks

I would expect it was pollinated (either by an insect or just by movement as they have all the bits in the right places to self pollinate easily), and that in a few days a teeny tiny fruit will begin to emerge.

Alternatively if not pollinated then the flower (with half inch of stalk will go yellowy and fall off.

Either way, don't panic as the plant will begin to produce lots more flowers.

I've been going around my plants with a little bit of garden twine and rubbing it around each flower which has (I think) assisted with pollination

Wapwap79, nice looking plants you have there. I'm impressed with the huge leaves on your bhut jolokia. Are you feeding it, and if so what with?

[Chiiliwilly]

Cheers dude, there a lot more flowers that have opened up now and you have put my mind at ease lol, thanks again
