It should produce more flowers. Each flower produces a tomato fruit. Just give the plant good care and a little time. :)

Agreed, that particular flower is done, but you will have lots more coming!

As Kisal said each flower becomes one tomato. A happy healthy tomato plant should give about 20 pounds of tomatoes over the course of the season.
