D.stramonium problem

Hello everyone.
About a week ago,give or take a couple of days,my d.stramonium popped out a flower bud.Well about 4 days ago the flower opened.It was about 4 to 5 inches long,including the green bud part.
The flower closed when the sun came up.I was expecting it to open that again.Well around midnight I went outside to take a pictue but the flower had not opened.
The next day I went outside to find the flower had disconnected itself.It looks like it came off where it would normally.
There are 3 smaller flower buds that are getting bigger everyday.I went out today and one of the flower buds(the largets one) had fallen off as well.
The plant looks healthy besides a few holes in the leaves from an early pest problem.As far as I can tell,bugs had nothing to do with the flowers and buds falling off.
I water every other day.If the leaves go limp,I had a little extra water than usual.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?I have been growing the plant outside.I live in the southeast and it is very hot and very humid.But the plant had seemed to be doing fine in this weather untill the flower fell off.
I brought it in today to see if the excessive humidity is the problem.
Can anyone help?Thanks

Even the unopend flower buds?One of the immature buds,around half an inch,fell off as well.Is this normal?
I hope the flower that fell off was open long enough to become fertalized.

its not uncommon for them to only last a day or two.
don't worry. It was probably raped by night moths the first time it opened the strong smell attracts insects from a mile away

Ok thanks for the help.There are a few more buds,so when they open I will take pictures.
I have 3 other Datura plants.They took almost 2 weeks to germinate.I dont know if they are d.inoxia or d.metel.Is there anyway to tell?

Ok,here is the smaller one of the two.

Here is the stem of the smaller one.

And here is the largest one.It think it has some flower buds pocking their heads out.But they are way to small to see with the camera.

The third one is still in seedling stage.

Ok my stramonium is still having this problem.The young flower buds fall off.They are only like 1/4 of an inch long.And they just fall off.WTF.I know this isnt normal.I am never gonna see any beautiful flowers besides the first one.
Should I try some fertilizer?Different condtions?I am very frustrated.
