When you harvest a mature capsules you´ll have a high number of seeds available. Normally you do not need all of them. If you ever have tried to get some orchidseeds from other growers, you know how difficult it can be and how glad people are when they get some new seeds. In the internet you can find some groups where growers share their seeds.
