I heard this expression and I don't know what it means. I googled it and it was mostly financial meanings. But mine is not. I'm writing the context exactly.
The bottom kind of dropped out when I heard that Amanda was pregnant. Because she wasn't able to take care of herself at that point let alone take care of a child.
Thank you.
The ends don't appear to have technical names, but the parts at each end do.
The stem is also called the pedicel or stalk.
The opposite end is where the stamen is located. In the second picture below, this end is also referred to as the style.
None of these terms are common outside of technical usage when discussing plant, flower, and fruit morphology. More common descriptors are stem end and tip.
By the way, some pictures will show the "calyx" (derived from "cup" or "chalice"), often at the tip end. But I believe the calyx is a depression at either end. Referring to a particular calyx requires a modifier (e.g., pedicel calyx).
Both scenarios sound like examples of a "win-win" situation where, though for entirely different reasons, both parties benefit from the solution.

I'd agree with both comments: the statement is easily understandable, but the image is overdone. You might instead try something like "My heart sank when I heard..."
Or, of course, you can use it anyways, and if enough people imitate you it will become accepted.
