bower vine seed pods

Hi, my first post to this forum and I'm excited to be here!

I'm newly returned to gardening after a dozen years of apartment living, where I grew nothing more than an occasional dusting of mold on my shower curtain! I've moved to a townhome now, and can at least do some container gardening out on my patio. Here's my question:

I have a pink bower vine that is in bloom, and I just noticed a few large, waxy green pods. I assume these are seed pods, and that this means the plant is about to shut down blooming and go to seed for the season? If so, can I cut/pinch the pods off to encourage the vine to bloom a bit longer?

Thanks!

Janell
