Default Lost the tag and got a surprise seed pod

I bought this like a month ago from Traders Joe. Didn't have a tag so I don't know the name. Today the flower fell off and I saw the seed pod. It was a suprise because I was ready to cut the stem yesterday because the flower started to look bad. Lucky me but now I don't have any idea what to do with it and how I will get to have some seeds ot if this pod and how I will make them germinate

That pod will probably not develop. It is typical for it to persist for a short time after the flower has dropped. If the plant is healthy there is no harm in waiting to see what it does. If it is still not drying up in a few weeks but starting to get a bit plumper then you will still have a few months to figure out what to do with the seed. Growing orchids from seed is not a simple thing. Start with a web search to get some idea.

There is no way to be sure of the name. There are hundreds of similar hybrids and many sold for mass market don't even have names. I can say it is a Paph Maudiae-type hybrid with a lot of ancestry from the species Paph callosum.
