All those wonderful flowers and only one name, it's a real winner! Melanie, forgot to say just love the Wizard.

I have a mysterious ailment on my two bloomers, the purple NOID Den and the 4th and 5th spikes on the big sunset NOID. The edges of the petals look bleached or cracked, and the color is leached out of them. Both plants doing the same thing, even on new flowers not yet all the way open. Doesn't look like any insects, I looked with the magnifying glass in the bright light this morning.

Could it be just too hot for the flowers to hold? We've had a couple of "low humidity" days, but I've been misting faithfully.
