Growing without flasks?

I was reading that an orchid growing in the wild seeds start by a fungus on the tree. That if you have a wild orchid that there is a chance that the fungus still exists on the roots then your seeds might start just putting them in the same pot. Well, Has anyone ever been successful with growing an orchid from seed with out using the flasking system? I have lots of wild orchids growing on my property. Can I just take seeds and place them in the same area as the Encyclia tampensis that are growing on the oaks. Here is a picture of the spot that I would like to try this at. If anyone can give me and tips on this subject I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Brandan
