I suspect its lack of rain. Spray the flowers with water each night when you water the roots. Good luck
Possibly a lack of pollinating insects or the wrong type of pollinator.
There is a type of bee that has a short proboscis that will take a short cut to collect nectar, via the back of the flower by piercing a hole and avoiding the reproductive parts of the flower.

If that is the case, I can only suggest growing some flowers that will attract a wide range of pollinators.

Thanks mazie. Think you are probably right. All we can do is hope for rain, although we do enjoy the sunshine
