This is the second time a bug ate the bud of the specimen P. madagascariense. I don't now if it has 9 lives or not but it is still alive. You can see from the photo the gaping howl in the side of the bud. I was reminded from a good friend that in the wild if you where to collect this species you find the same thing. Let see how long it will live. It was a spore grown plant and seams to be vary strong.
