Couldn't agree with you more about your comment regarding Phrags.

Drives me nuts to have 2 beautiful blooms and just be waiting for the 3rd to
open, so I can take some nice photos and.................... boom. It drops
a perfectly shaped, beautiful bloom!!

First couple of times it happened I thought for sure that I was doing
something to cause it. I finally found out from some local growers that it
was quite normal:-(

Now, I take them and press them in an old phone book. They make interesting
dried specimens.

If your given lemons, make lemon-aid!!

Take care,
