I figured it out, and I also had a discussion with Chuck Acker, who bred it (it was a division of one of his personal plants which makes me all the more nervous about it).
It was a water issue and I put it in rock wool. I know many people hate rock wool, but that's all I could find at the time that would keep it constantly damp without having its feet in the water (they need to also be kept more "dry" meaning not in standing water.) A few weeks after doing this-- and we are in Spring now too-- I found 4-5 tiny little new growths. One is "iffy" because it is a dark color and may have been killed off previously-- but I have new growths. In fact all the phrags, including the monster phrag are having little growths. I feel pretty good figuring out a plant, and I am including Paphs in my plant "studies." I kept the Druryii cross alive and it is growing well, and I even think I might have a new leaf or a spike starting. Not sure which.
