I've been playing around with germinating seeds naturally, i.e without sterile nutrient media, for a while now. Last year I tried inoculating the trees with mycorhizzae from the roots of live orchids and have lots of seedlings popping up all over the place. Problem is I was pretty over zealous and spread seeds from any sort of orchid seed pod I could find, including a lot of orchids that I really didn't want a bunch of. I figured only few would grow. So now I get to wait and see what I get.
But that success has lead me to start playing around with hybrids. So far a few have taken to growing a seed pod. I'm curious to see if hybrids will germinate as well naturally. If I get any hybrids to bloom I'll definitely post some pictures.
