as you may well know saddad they are related to the hibiscus and those are single day flowering ,ie open in the morning close and die at dusk. back home that is generally the habit of the ochro as well, maybe if it had opened in the morning it might have lasted all day (i wonder if it didn't deem the temp hot enough until 3pm ???).
