As there is serious heat wave temperature above 41 degree in calcutta for last 20 days flowers are also shrinking. I have the pink hibiscus planted in pots in my balcony. I can see the flowers are also showing their full face to hide from the sunlight.

@sathviksouvik You are welcome! I'm not looking forward to high summer temps here, so feel your pain.

Many plants can't take such high temperatures particularly if it's hot day after day.

Ours has been between 32°C-34°C for the past few weeks. My parents water the garden every day, yet the plants are still wilting.
