Default Growing Dactylorhiza from seed pods ??

I wonder if the lilies use the same fungi as the orchids.


Do lilies do this? It's years since I grew any from seed but aren't the
seeds large enough to handle individually?


Probably, even trees do it.

Anyway, they look like hybrids to me, all with spotted leaves, but some
much
taller than the original species.
Others have since turned up in my Bonsai pots, which is a pain,


Could you surgically remove them during the winter while they're dormant?


Only by doing a complete repot if I wanted to save the orchids.
