Paph insigne
Talk about PATIENCE!!
This plant I've had for close to 30 yrs but early in 1980 it just went downhill & was on the verge of disappearing altogether.I managed to save a wee bit ( a very small growth) & then in the ensuing years it kept multiplying with teeny,wispy, growths so I kept dividing etc & tossing some bits of it away.I really never thought that the growths would ever grow hale & hearty again but now this is what I got in the late fall.One of my success stories-(very few-).

Great story! My insigne slumps a lot too; it rarely blooms for me. It's a shame - I really like this species.
