No. orchid seeds are not at all similar to viral particles.
Seeds of Orchidaceae use a mutually benificial, symbiotic relationship
to
germinate as they dont carry their own food supplies and use the sugars
released by the actions of particular fungi to grow.
A virus uses the cells of an organism to duplicate its own DNA... there
is
quite a marked difference.

Well I want the thermodynamics or energy relationships of the smallest
size possible plant seed. Can you have a plant grow from pure DNA, or
does it need a minimum stored energy to get it to the point where the
Sunlight takes over the job.
Apparently, between the size of an Orchid seed and a strawberry seed
lies the answer to this question of Energy equation.
The Minimum Amount of Stored Energy surrounding the DNA to create a
plant seed. That is the question.
What exactly is the millimeter size of a strawberry seed?
What exactly is the millimeter size of a orchid seed?
As we get smaller size than that of a strawberry seed we eventually
come to a size for which the physics does not allow for the seed to
develop into a plant. So that is the question. What is the minimum
Stored Energy surrounding a DNA for which the plant can grow to
maturity. This is a physical limit that needs to be well understood.
