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? 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.

Great. Thanks!

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