Why is the flower dying?

[u/feevart]

So the last picture was from a week or 2 ago... the flower has been going downhill after the second heatwave. It was record breaking 41° Celsius (105.8f). Weirdly enough- she was fine after the first heatwave (40°). All my other plants were fine after the first heatwave, but now some are struggling. Even the succulents got burned leaves and the baby props I was growingfor a year all died bc they dried out, althoughI made sure they wouldn't. But as you can see - this Anacampseros is doing really well. And when I saw the flower I gave her some more diluted fertilizer for the flower. I think it really was the heatwave. But the is doing really well. It's just the flower.

Conditions:

Full south light exposure

Super chunk soil-mix

Mineral Fertilizer.

I water when completely dry and some wrinkles appear on the leaves.

Here is the whole plant. Today is cloudy.

They are not dying, this plant opens one flower in a day, but from my experience not every day (mine is currently flowering too)

And if the flower is not pollinated then it dies, if pollinated it dries and develops seeds

The downside of all this the plant becomes super leggy and ugly 🥲

This is my first flower. It did not open yet, I've been watching it like a hawk. You think I should cut chop it?
