Is my carnation sad? 🥲

Apologies for the second question of the day... but I always receive tons of valuable answers and feedback here, so I wanted to consult this with all of you 🙏🏻.

My border carnation has lots of buds ready to bloom, but the leaves seem to be a bit droopy... it's definitely not as lively as it was a month ago 😰. I'd say that the part closer to the soil is turning a bit brownish/yellowish...

This is how it looked like one month ago (I cut the dead flowers after they turned brown)

@Mng23 It looks a little wind whipped. Has it been windy in SF?

@CuteChollipo hi! Yes, it’s been windy and I thought the same at first, but the leaves are much softer and less bright than they used to be 😅 so i believe it is not only that the wind has beaten it

@Mng23 maybe the stress response after the wind. The before pic looks like you were caring for it well. Maybe time? As I remember, it has also been raining alot. Maybe bring it inside when the weather gods threaten. She will be beautiful again.
