Butterfly seedpod question

Back in October I received and potted up a Butterfly cutting that I got in a trade. It rooted,and to my surprise,put out a flower while still under a foot tall.But,that is not the strange part ! What IS strange is that it has formed what looks to be a seedpod that is growing bigger by the day.There were NO other plants in bloom at that time,and my cuttings are in a different part of the basement than my seedlings and other brugs.I have been growing brugs for 15 years,and have never seen this before.I have done my own crosses before,and have to do many dustings just to get a few to take,so this is a mystery to me. I know that brugs are not supposed to be self fertile,but that is the only explination I can come up with.There is no way it received stray pollen. Has anyone who has or is growing Butterfly ever got seedpods without hand pollinating ? And yes,I am about 99.9% sure it is a seedpod.I will keep you updated on this as time goes on.Any opinions?
