its a one of those whtte orchids that are in the super makets http://www.atpm.com/10.08/readers/images/petty-orchid.jpg
and the liliy is i dont have a picture but it has yellow small flowers and they are very close together there are about 10 to 15 flowers and they are close together

 

your orchid looks like a phalaenopsis. As far as I know, it won't grow from a root particularly the greyish aerial roots.
Again with lilies they can be propagated from scales or offsets but not the roots themselves.

Sounds as if you need to join an orchid club!

 

thanks dudes

 

1more thing can i cross bread vanilla with any other orchid?

 

I'm afraid my expertise doesn't extend beyond trying keep my orchids alive and flowering!

 

Orchid man, I think you'll have difficulty doing that unless you've got a laboratory.
The majority of orchids are very difficult from seed and not really a viable proposition for the ordinary gardener.

 

thaks dudes
1 more thing
were can i buy cheap orchid seeds?

 

I don't think you can! The majority of seeds are so small you can't see them. As Pete said, not a thing for ordinary gardeners.
