Identifying/germinating seed of this orchid

[I'm not here]

Here is a pic of the same type of orchid my friend has planted in the ground. This cutting came to me with a seed pod, prompting me to further my knowledge of orchids. As I have a compulsion of growing any seeds I can collect.

What I think I know so far is that terrestrial orchid seeds can be germinated in peat or some other planting medium. And that orchids that need to be grown in bark are a little or rather a lot more difficult and require a sterile "flasking lab".

The other thing I know nothing about is how long seed, once removed from the plant/pod, is viable.

thanks for any information.

P.S. Do I have to put pics in a photo gallery before attaching to a thread?

P.P.S. I figured it out.
