I can't show you. But I can tell you. Once fertilized, the petal part on a female blossom will wither and the fruit part will grow. If it isn't pollinated the fruit part may remain unchanged for a couple of days. But it will wither and fall off the plant eventually. If it is pollinated, and the pollination "takes," the petals will still wither and fall off, but the little fruit will grow.

Yes, you can go ahead and eat any immature fruit that you like. They're good at all stages, even if they don't "take" and grow.

When our kids were little one of their favorite things was to go out and pick male blossoms before breakfast. We'd shake them out and rinse them, to remove any hiding insects, and then we'd dip them in egg and fry them with our breakfast. Often, we'd then take those freshly fried flowers and sprinkle them with powdered sugar before serving. The children LOVED this!
