Thanks for the photos and advise Rimmer. I think the wilt is probably due to the heat as you mentioned.

I noticed today though that the top of the stem has gone limp which now means I won?t get to see the flowers. I?m miffed and sad. I do have this happen sometimes with Bessera ( closely allianced with Petronymphe) which I grow, but because there?s many blooms it goes relatively unnoticed.
