A good place to start is the American Orchid Society, http://www.aos.org/. From personal experience I would look at starting from seed as very advanced orchid culture. Just learning how to grow them is enough of a learning curve for a beginner.

iv'e never grown from seed. I'm too impatient. if you're new to the third biggest family in the plant kingdom its probably better to start off with a plant from home depot or lowes. they're inexpensive and it gives you a place to start. propagation is a specialized science. orchids don't just germ and grow like other plants. the medium you grow in is even different.

My mind didn't even go to germination of seeds. I was only thinking of growing. Lol

I'm realizing maybe I'm too high for this thread, I should stick to the noob section.

Germinating them is probably too big a bite to chew to start out. They're a very different flower than most, but if you have a hydroponics background they're actually easier than if you came from standard veggie or soil gardening. It's possible to grow orchids hydroponically too, although you could argue that they already kind of grow that way in nature
