Actually...now that I think of it...

You gotta be concerned about whether the pollination will take or not, before thinking about the seed pods being able to reach maturity.

Even though you pollinate a flower it doesn't mean it will form a seed pod.

...and even though a capsule may form, there may be no seed inside...

...and even if there is seed, they may not be viable.

I don't mean to paint an ugly picture, it just is what it is. I've found some Dendrobiums to seed like crazy and some just refuse. I've never messed with Bulbos.

The timing (age of flowers) can also come into play. I try to pollinate a flower once it has fully opened but still fresh. Pollen age doesn't seem to matter as much but it may. Sorry so vague.
