Hi - Not sure if this is correct posting site, so apologize in advance if
this is not where I should ask some experts some questions.

I have a handful of bountiful lavender and red "reed" orchids. The stems
are very tall on most, and now contain little things that look best to me
like possible "seed pods"? What do I do or can do with these?

When trimming the plants back, should I cut back even when they have flowers
on very top of long stem?

Again, my thanks. Want to share the lavender with my friends, and would
like to get more going in the ground (I read in one orchid book that they
could be planted in ground?).
