#GVOS2020 - Phalaenopsis Chia-Shing ‘Hot Kiss’

Big lip Phals... no fragrance, but stunning impact on the eyes! This is a common hybrid, which I enjoy A LOT, because it is one of the phals that took to leca and self-watering from the get go! No transition issues, and blooms 8-9 blooms / spike / year. This phal makes me a happy collector! The blooms do not last as long as other complex hybrids, found in the supermarket or garden centres... but its a keeper because of its rewarding growing habit :)
