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

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

I'll second what Ronald posted. I've tried the ex-vitro method for Bletilla striata. And like Ronald had said. The seeds germinated. But the amount of plants that will make it to maturity is very low.

Most orchid seeds depend on mycorrhizal fungi to germinate. But this topic can take on a life of its own, so I'll just leave you with this.

And yes...your mom owes you lunch, but make it a good one, because technically you were both right. It's just this time you were more right like you said.
