Paph godefroyae (capsule) X Paph Psyche (bellatulum x niveum) = Paph Virgo
In astrology Virgo is one of the mutable signs, a subgroup of the zodiac. Mutable signs are the chameleons of each element, able to shift into many forms, and take on different personas (http://www.about.com/). This mutable sign is associated with change, versatility and adaptability. Virgos are said to have the characteristics of being able to adapt to new situations and environment easily.
The paph lover that came up with this hybrid is perhaps one who truly understands the universe for he has created an uncanny connection between this paph and the sign of Virgo. Is obvious that Paph Virgo has truly lived up to its astrological linkage by not only being a chameleon hybrid - evolving from the multiple forms of both species & hybrid, Paph Psyche but also being highly adaptable to my living room's condition. It flowered and still has been flourishing plus multiplying into many more paph Virgo after the time I brought it back one of the nurseries in Upper Thomson.
There is simply so much thoughts given even to the selection of a paph's name!
