This is Orchid. Flower Shot is not straight to see which variety it is. These are not seed Pods but Flower Pods

@gauravsh6 do you know why they are growing like that, its just them two, all the rest are normal. I have had orchids for years and have never seen them grow like this.. I was so happy, I thought I had managed to get some seeds out of it :(. Normally the dead flower just shrivels up and falls off.

The Flower Petals possibly haven't formed correctly due to less water or nutrients. Could have due to sudden variation in temperatures. Orchids have a certain life. How many years old they are now

The flowers have been absolutely fine, I self pollinated them.. then the flower started to die... and now the flower stem has grown instead of shrinking and falling off. I've had this orchid for just over a year. I've had a look online and it does look like it is a seed pod 😆😆

@gauravsh6 nope they are still growing, apparently they take a while to harvest. I have another seed pod aswell, that's 3 pods. I don't know if I will keep the seeds though, I might just cut them off they are taking alot of energy plus are really hard to grow
