Paph seed pod? What to do?

[Faan]

In my experience it is not strange for the seed pod in some instances to look alive for a few more weeks after the flower has fallen. In all the years I have grown Paphs I have never had it that there was self pollination. The structure of the flower is such that it is very difficult to happen. In this particular instance the flower must have been so crippled that it could happen and I doubt this.
The flower we see here looks pretty normal to me for self pollination not to have happened.
Sorry, my opinion.

Don't be sorry. If it is infertile so be it. I really don't have the time or space to raise seedling orchids, but I was going to give it my best try.

Thank you.

I posted a close up in the first post, but here's the whole plant. I really liked the spotted foliage, that is why I picked it out of the offerings at a store.

Most likely not pollinated, but time will tell.
If it gets bigger, you know what happened.

In a few weeks, it might just dry up dark brown and fall off.

No offence, but that's just how it is unless you "helped" it.

I think the best way to propagate your plant is to divide as it gets bigger over the years.
These hybrids can "explode" at certain point.
They will add one growth at a time when young, but then some of them will grow like crazy even when young.
As they form a small clump in a few years, they may or may not shoot up multiple growths all over the place, expanding in size each year.
This also means a lot of flowers each time it blooms.

I like your flower, although I prefer just single flower per stem on this type of hybrids.
