"You can watch an unfertilized flower.  It just slowly dries up and falls off.  "
 
 
The same thing happens to flowers that have been exposed to just enough cold to kill the pistil without damaging the petals. I have been horrified to peer closely at a single flower on lovely branches of plum blossoms, and see a little dead black thing in the center. And another and another.  The peaches are harder to spot.   It happens to Chaenomeles quince too.       Donna
