Paph. Freckles 'White Sapphire'. I've been lazy the past few years and just repotted it. But I grow indoors and it was taking up way too much space.

Too bad the PF is virtual this year. You could have sold the divisions easily.
I bought this at the PF about 10 years ago
Nooooooooooooo!!! Specimen! Oh well. Well grown and bloomed.
Root ****!
Are divisions for sale?
At the moment I could reasonably handle a specimen helenae in my cabinet. That's about it.
This one was growing like crazy.
Sure - when it's warmed up a bit and they've had some time to root.
So tempting to have one of these Classics. Keep at least 2, in case one goes south!
How did you get the roots unjumbled and old mid out without destroying them?
I'll be keeping the nicest one for myself, obviously. And will have the rest for several months as they root.
Soaked it for a couple hours before starting, then spent another couple hours untangling. Even so, many healthy roots were lost. But the divisions should bounce back.
cut the flowers
Savage!
When I saw the root pic I thought ‘good luck’ but saw you did get it apart. My eyes would have glazed over after an hour of peering and pulling!

Very good job!
Heresy!
There were several breaks involved and a TV on at all times...When I saw the root pic I thought ‘good luck’
