Ok so I pollinated my phals couple days ago. Now the flowers that I pollinated are starting to wilt and turn in. Is this usual?

Normally, if is really was pollinated, the flower will wilt, and the green stem right behind the bloom will start to swell. If the entire bloom falls off the spike, then there was no pollination
