Dave, I have the spotted Cyps out in the open in the garden (behind and under a pinus mugo). They are very difficult in the first year, so I grow them in a pot at this time. They grow well every year, but do not always flower. I will show more photos of them. These Cyps have very long and strong roots which are often chopped off before shipment and so they must produce new roots for the next year.
But it is correct that sometimes the heart of the 2 leaves will molder (because water - maybe?).

Great thread with so lovely pics of such great treasures.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
Mine are fighting to survive in Sweden out of my sight so I do not know if there is any flowers :(
Kind regards

Looking at some of these fantastic pictures has made my day again. How big is your glass house as it looks huge in some of the pictures. Any cultural advice for Cyp guttatum would be appreciated as mine tend to rot off at the shoot (help) same as my palangshanense.

My friend is an owner of a small nursery and primary grows tropical orchids and some ordinary garden plants for building and garden centres (viola, fuchsia, leontopodium, geranium,....).
Guttatum is an easy Cyp for me and my friend. If you get a plant with healthy roots you will have much success. I grow them in a shady position behind and under a pinus mugo or in common with Daphne cneorum. They do like colder conditions.

Hans why is Your fried growing the plants in a green house?
If he has tropical orchids there I presume the conditions are not ideal for Cyps?
They are lovely and so nice to see the variations in x ventricosum.
Even more so since manchuricum also is a x ventricosum, but it may be a valid name to describe a special type of x ventricosum.
Really lovely a great start of the day  8)
Thanks for showing

I'd grow that one for the leaves alone.  The flower is a bonus (and a very nice bonus at that!!  ;D)

Dear Hans,
Please may I use some of your photographs, to send to orchid friends, and to keep as a record.
They wont be used for publications or anything like that.
Its just that they are rather fine, and I like them!
