I went out yesterday to see the poor thing all stressed out and wilted. I brought it in and watered it well, put it under flourescent lights, and let it set. An hour or so later, I was passing through the kitchen, and it was totall upright and full again. One leaf has dropped of since. Is this normal, and should I expect more leaves to drop if I keep it inside?

yes, the leaves will drop, but that's okay. if you read some of Glorias postings, she takes all the leaves off on purpose. Those leaves are used to the bright sunlight. The ones I have under grow lights lost most of theirs, but they are putting leaves back out that are adjusted the that amount of light. Mine under grow lights are even setting buds.
Goodie! Thanks, tiG.

Tig,
I have been watching you. Looking for Candida knightii and others. You have to promise me that if you make some aurea croses to knightii that you send me a pink small one if you get one or at the very least a very small petite one in white. Smaller than an arborea flower....
oh for the day when I get something you want!!!! LOL!! I promise that if I get a knightii, hmmm....need to contact Barbara, I will cross it and do my best to come up with something you would want. If you wanted one of my crosses, I'd finally have arrived!!

tiG,
You should try and cross one of the Whiskers Hybrids to a double white...that should be interesting. I have an Alba White almost blooming and I'm going to pollinate it with whatever is blooming at the time..who knows what we'll come up with.
I must have a ton of Insignis Pink babies coming up.... the weird Jamican Yellow babies are also doing great....Isabelle hybrid babies have already made thier appearance...babies everywhere.
Brugman....I'm having a little trouble with the leaves on some of the Waltrand(sp) hybrids....they want to look deformed...why? I am down to 4 plants now from the 25 I started with.
making a note to do that Gloria!! thanks:)
