How do I tell if Paph jackii x armeniacum has set seed?

[Hedge]

Sorry if this is a bit of a beginner question, but I thought that the Paph guys would know straight away. So:

I bought a Paph jackii x armeniacum from a reputable supplier at RHS Tatton Park summer show, in flower. (1st pic). Within about three weeks the flower dropped off and I left the stem to die back a little before I would remove it. That was about another four weeks ago. Instead of dying back, the pod behind the flower (the ovary?) is still green.

My questions are:

1. Does this mean it got fertilised at the growers? I didn't have any other Paphs in flower at that time.
2. What do I do if it has set seed? Remove it so that the plant saves its energy for further growth?
3. Or have a go at raising Noid Paphs from seed?

All comments would be appreciated

Thanks

I'm thinking it's probably a seed pod. Normally when the bloom withers, the stem browns out and dies. Since you have no idea what it's crossed with, you should just cut it off.
