Is this normal for jasmine?

[Newgardener123]

Hi all,
I'm a novice gardener and wanted to get some views here. My jasmine has been blooming with gorgeous flowers but has started to shed them after turning brown.
Is this normal? It has been particularly hot and dry here, so I was thinking, should I water it more or is this normal for the plant to shed its flowers? It looks otherwise fine, attaching a pic.
Thank you!

That’s what my Jasmine does so I assume normal.

Wow its gorgeous, where are you? My jasmine is just getting buds now. Can't wait for it to flower - the noise from the bees in the evening will be incredible along with the scent. As pp said its normal for the flowers to die and fall off, you can pick them off or just leave them.

Thank you, I'm in Belfast! Mine started about 2 weeks ago so still fairly new.

The individual flowers don't last long, they go brown once they are finished.

All flowering plants do that. It is what is supposed to happen. It is the life cycle. They flower and then the flowers will die. If you pick off the brown ones it will encourage more flowers to come but flowering plants only flower for a portion of the year.

Plants produce flowers, which hopefully get pollinated, then the flowers die and seeds are produced. The flowers are just a means to an end. Some individual flowers may last a week or two, other plants have flowers which last only a single day.
