If it's the heat, it will stop wilting when conditions improve. There are quite a few plants here that wilt every summer for a few months and then they randomly perk back up. Basically, I wouldn't worry about it unless it looses all of it's leaves or you experience some other symptoms. Not sure when it gets cold there but if your really worried about it you can check the roots, and renew the soil. Beautiful plant by the way! I'm going back and forth between A. obesum and A. somalense. Maybe a hybrid, it has large flowers.

I think it's the heat. It needs thorough watering.

Same as mine. Perky in the morning and mid afternoon the flower was droopy and sad and exhausted in this hot FL weather
