My wallichia is flowering so I got up on the ladder to inspect the flowers as the bees we’re fairly active so I brushed my hand in and around the flowers along with a artist’s brush in hope of some seeds setting as no luck yet with viable seeds this may be the last chance I get as it has flowered twice before

I fear you'll get no seeds, in fact not even duds. This looks like a strictly male inflo. I think that only in mainly female inflo some flowers are bisexual and some restricted hermaphrodism may take place. Here are some old pictures of my fruiting specimen. First inflo was female and I did get some fertile fruits.  The subsequent inflos were male and I had plant removed. Interestingly or fertile fruit were red and all bigger white fruit turned out balloons.20191119_164927.thumb.jpg.a1d084347c24c5e8b7a5d72211a8157d.jpg20191119_164822.thumb.jpg.15230db75d852ce00e292d9d8ead8d4a.jpg20191119_164955.thumb.jpg.461081d8e58e19531aaa5443f6b9d313.jpg20191119_165258.thumb.jpg.13024a9012f76b3909f75f32775de1b3.jpg20191119_165254.thumb.jpg.d2d6fe3c11da9e9e1aaa39cf31aa585c.jpg20191119_165524.thumb.jpg.7fdcbdfce3a942c1e316202470c8a8f4.jpg20191119_170407.thumb.jpg.5642f6f147c88792ec9bbf3638255ed2.jpg
