    I was given this beautiful plant for Mother's Day. I didn't ask where it was purchased or what it was. I went to the internet to try to find out what it was after getting so many compliments on the plant. It looks like the picture above on the vine. It was doing perfect until this morning I decided to transfer it to a bigger pot so I could keep it on my porch. However, I noticed that the bells were starting to wilt. Can someone give me some advice because it is a gorgeous flower.
    Thanks

    your pic didn't upload...

    without seeing it, i can't hazard a guess as to what it is.

    wilting after being transplanted can be quite the normal response for many plants - it's traumatic having your roots disturbed. it's also fairly hot today, so that's also a factor. hopefully, you watered it thoroughly after putting it in the new container/soil and it'll bounce back in a day or so.
