Alan Titchmarsh, I'm not

I thought that I had been so careful - watering all the plants in the menagerie (can you have a menagerie of plants, or does the word just apply to animals? ho hum...) before I went off for the conference yesterday morning.
I returned this evening to find my poor mini gerbera and Japanese peace lily quite wilted. I have now placed out of direct sunlight, watered and am hoping for the best....
