Is your ground orchid epidendrum radicans (usually orange flowers on elongating stems with glossy leaves that come directly off the stem) or spathoglottis plictata (long "corrugated" leaves).

I searched to see how to harvest and use the seed pod of the epidendrum as I usually throw mine away. Didn't find a lot but what I did convinces me that I'll continue to throw them away and propagate via stem cuttings. If you're looking for a challenge, it sounds like seed propagation may be for you:

The link below suggests seed propagation of spathoglottis is much easier:

Hi

have had spathoglottis sprout in the same pot as described but not sure if that's true or it just off set lol Both species do that frequently. In facy it's so frequent about the only advantage to seeds would be a specific hybrid?? Good luck would like to hear some up dates?? gary
