Probably OK. I need to see a photo of the whole plant to check definitely whether the flowering stems are branched before I can confirm this.

Don't have any others sorry as I was focused on the fly at the time. I do remember them being branched though as I handled the plants to stop the breeze blowing them every time I tried to take a photo.
