Seeds you are unlikely to find -- and I'd advise you not to trust anyone who says they have them for sale. Orchid seeds are literally like dust specks and have an exceedingly short shelf life. Look for plants instead. Most who sell such plants, won't have them available until spring I would imagine. You can check with Roberts Flower Supply --
http://www.orchidmix.com/ -- as I know he frequently carries various temperate terrestrial orchids. They are an elderly couple so email or phone would be best method of contact.

I have some 'Triantha occidentalis' seeds. I bought a large packet online, and more than I will use. Not really an orchid, but they are boggish plants that were recently found to be carnivorous.
I don't have many details so far, other than they need to be stratified, and from what I have read your basic 50/50 peat/perllite or sand soil should work fine.

Wow, are you sure those are real seeds? If so, where did you get them?
I've been looking on Ebay with no luck.

I got them at the site below. No idea for sure, but I am hoping. Did some basic searching online, and could not find much good or bad about them.
