Any chance you remember where you got it, Paul? If it was Natt's, by chance, they've been able to correct a mistagged tolumnia for me once before. Pretty plant!

I've used 50% diluted rubbing alcohol on flowers, with minimal immediate impact to the flowers. I've also used insecticidal soap and hort oil. I'm sure others will have opinions on which is best.
