    Is this a Brugmansia Angel Trumpet?

    Could the wilting be from lack of water. I have two that wilt if I don't give them water everyday. One I started from seed, and a pink one that came back from the root. I also have a larger one from a cutting off the pink plant. It is well established and doesn't wilt as easily. All three are Brugmansia's.

    I would say it needs more water too Rosebud. Has it been really hot there? Sometimes mine wilts a little when it's really hot but then perks up when it cools down a bit. Plants wilt to conserve water.
