Inflo bending

Danville, VA(Zone 7a)

I have my first blooms on what I believe is a Kauai Beauty. Today when I came home from work it had opened more blooms and the stem of the inflo was hung over to the side like it was top heavy... Can this be what happened or is there something wrong? It is not broke just curved over... I am sending a picture of it as I put a stake to the flowers...
Also I will send a second picture of my Varg. Plumeria that I got from Thailand this summer...
Than you for any help..

Your flowers and variegated plumie are both gorgeous, Susan. And it is not uncommon for an inflo to bend or even hang. Certain plumerias are even well-known for their pendulous blooms, including Japanese Lantern. Here is my 'Bali Hai Gold' inflo doing a nice bend.

Oh thank you so much I thought I did something wrong and it was gonna croke... So I should take the stake out that is holding it up? This is the one I lost the tag to but I think it is the Kauai Beauty... I dont really care what it is so long as it is ok....
Once again thank you for your help.

They will sometimes bend over when you get TOO MANY BLOOMS on them LOL (and that is a nice full inflo)
It could occasionally indicate that the plant might like a drink.

Susan, you can stake it if you want to or let it hang. I don't have a 'Kauai Beauty' so I can't help you with identification. You are very welcome;-)

It rain the night before it bent so I think the water part is ok.. Is the first thing I did was go down a few inches in the pot to check... Seemed wet enough...
Thank you again for all the help...
