You can, but you probably won't get much of any germination or growth. Before the technique of sterile flasking was discovered, orchidists sowed the seed on top of the medium of other plants (usually osmunda fiber). They would sometimes get a few plants that way but collecting remained the main source of plants and sowing the seed on the medium was a pretty iffy technique. I think you've got one up on your mom, since no one interested in sowing seed would do it the old way today. Maybe you can get her to take you for lunch.
