last I heard, Epipactis helleborine was a protected species in Michigan (in spite of the fact that the U.S. government considers it an invasive weed). it might not be legal to collect the seed, even from plants on your own property.
It is very difficult to grow orchids from seed (see the Propagation forum). If you're going to try it, I recommend trying a species that's less difficult.
