Nesting wrens (1 Viewer)

Do wrens build more than one nest, and then pick one? I have a pair building a nest in my hanging fuschia, and I'd love it if they chose there to nest, but I don't want to get my hopes up in case they abandon it later. They seem to be spanding a lot of time there, both of them, but I don't want to go out and poke around for fear of driving them off. What are the chances that they will actually nest here?
 
I know House Wrens do, the male does kind of a plug up of sticks in houses in his chosen territory.... I'm guessing you have the Carolina Wren....and I honestly don't know the answer, but they are more flexible in where they nest, they can build a nest in just about anything. I'm willing to bet chances are good they will hang around and complete the process.
