Flowers on my tomato plant point down. Is this normal?

Hello everyone. This is the first time I've planted a tomato plant. It is the Patio variety that is supposed to grow fine in a container without the need of cages (we'll see how that goes). I planted it maybe 3 weeks ago and I'm now seeing flowers. Are they supposed to look downward normally or is this a sign of impending danger? :shock: The plant looks healthy otherwise, but it has been very hot and humid lately. Thanks!

Yes, the flowers will tend to face downward, as opposed to upward. It isn't a problem. :)

I believe the flowers point down because the tomatos grow out of the flowers and they hang that way.... hope that makes sense lol
