Trying to settle a little disagreement between me and my mum!

[Ashleigh's Orchids]

Ok so here is our little 'disagreement'

My mum was trying to tell me today that when you pollinate an orchid and it works successfully and it produces the green pod/seeds, you can just plant the seeds in bark mix and coarse peat and the orchid will grow that way! She was then going on and on that seeds dont need flasking and you shouldnt pay some-one to flask seeds for you as they are just after money because you can just plant them in bark and coarse peat! -- This all comes from a women who owns no orchids herself!!

So to settle the disagreement, my question to you is - can you plant seeds directly into bark and peat??
