The violet you see with the red check mark appears droopy this morning. I watered from the top a little yesterday as I did with them all. This is the only droopy one. However, they are beginning to put on buds, etc, especially this particular one. It has 6-8 buds at least. Could that be a heavier demand for water, etc? I've got it setting in a ramiken with water right now. Soon as I finish this I'm going to take it out and put it in a bowl to drain. It's been in the water a little over 15 minutes.

Most likely it needed more water. You’ve done that. Tomorrow it should be fine. If not, then start looking for problems.
The canopy on this one is more “robust” than any of my other ones. I top water normally using a lab wash bottle bought just to use for watering. It’s much harder to do on this one with it’s heavier canopy, if I’m using the correct term. Maybe I should switch to using a dish and water from the bottom for this one all the time? I’m inexperienced with bottom watering.
I had one suddenly wilt and not spring back. I had been watering all sparingly from the bottom. Couldn’t figure it. I removed a few leaves, a couple flower spikes that were going over, then a big drink from the top. It’s taking more than 2 days to go turgid again, but it’s coming along.
