It doesn't look as though you will be in luck, but you will be certain in August if not before.

Once pollenated, the plant gets to work right away turing what was the egg and accompanying cells into a embryo and supportive cells (called an endosperm). This causes significant swelling of the ovaries that you can see after even a few weeks. Now, how many got pollenated, and how well the whole process of development went, will be remain to be seen until you collect seeds and sow them.

Im not sure if you can this late, but I have heard of people clipping off the flower stalks and treating them like cuttings to propagate asexually. I have done this personally with only minimal success.

Hard to be certain, but the flower nearest the camera in the first photo may have seed. You will soon know for sure.
