So long story as to how and why, but due to an oversight, I accidentally watered a couple plants with a 0.9% sodium chloride solution (in sterilized water). I don't remember what plants I watered with it, so I can't really flush them, and I just watered yesterday so I'd rather not flush again today if it can be avoided. How screwed am I?

I think the "normal" mirabilis grows in the vicinity of sp. Viking, but idk about it being intermingled with populations of sp. Viking.
I grow 1 sp. Viking, and a few forms of mirabilis, some from seed (as my sp. Viking is). I can't see how they can be the same exact species either.

Oops, my bad. I was looking at the description when I made the first post. No clue what I was thinking with the second.

Lam,
I don't think that's due to low humidity, but to humidity fluctuation (esp if it fluctuates to a low humidity). Sometimes if my humidifier breaks or runs out of water and I don't know, humidity will go from 70% to 50%, and then a few days later I notice some premature openings.

Lingulata is supposed to have a spur, its just supposed to be short and unbranched...

Very nice! Just Viking enough, but without it overpowering the cross, as its apt to do...

I would keep the label of thorelii for now. However, you probably need sockhom/marcello to tell you if its "really" thorelii or not. I guess it's probably really smilesii. The leaf margins seem to be hairy, and I can never remember which species that is indicative of.

What do we do about plants that are already in cultivation as thorelii or anamensis? Guess at what they are, or leave them labeled as they are?

I don't know if I'd go that far...obviously not every species invaded. The first things to colonize an island are spiders, so when they landed, they weren't invading an ecosystem that didn't exist. When the first plants arrived (probably through seeds carried in bird excrement), they didn't really invade per se either, since there were no other established plants ATM. Then we can go further and say when other plants arrived, if they didn't use the same resources/space as the current established species, they didn't really invade either. As Rich said, touchy subject

There are a few bellii/talangensis/aristo hybrids floating around that stay pretty compact.

Very interesting and nice. When I opened this topic, a bug started crawling on my screen from the lei, and I was confused for a minute lol.

Do you have any pics of the lowers from that plant? Do they just look like a typical boschiana or what?
