Just an update but would this flower be receptive? It doesn’t look fluffy. All the pollen is gone so I have to wait for a fresh flower.

How long has it been open? It usually takes 1-3 days for an opened flower to become receptive.

It’s been about 3 days now.

It's still worth a shot. Any remaining pollen could germinate and create seeds. Try rubbing it with another more receptive flower and see what happens in the next few weeks.
