What's up with this Arabian Jasmine?

A few weeks ago, I found this at a greenhouse / nursery and fell in love with it and brought it home with me. Its a tiny plant, about 6 inches high, but had 6 buds on it, and the one that was blooming at the nursery was wonderfully scented. I thought I could enjoy the flowers for a while since they were just buds. The first one bloomed and was there early one morning, then when i got home, it was gone. Several days later, I found the perfect little bloom between the rails of my deck. Now each one blooms, is there for less than 12 hours and for some reason has to pop off because they are all facing upward, so they cannot fall off. Does this plant just do this normally, or am I doing something wrong. Otherwise, it seems real happy.

    I think they should last for a bit longer than twelve hours. For me, they start to wither a bit the next day then come loose.
