Can I Cut The Tall Green Stalks When A Flower Of Is Coming Up

My plant is a year old. Was outside during summer and grew very green, healthy stalks. No flower. Cut back and wintered in the garage. Brought into house in November. Grew very nice green stalks but no flower pod till now. Can I cut the green stalks down on the plant that has the flower pod?
