Thanks Yazdi, for the important tip on Vanilla Orchid growing. Most recipes containing Vanilla, mention ' Vanilla pod ' as an ingredient, although not expressly as " Vanilla Orchid pod ". I believe Vanilla Orchid is grown on a big scale in Kerala, the moist climate being suitable.
One slight correction. Vanilla pods are not beans, as commonly referred. Like all Orchid seeds there are 1,000s of seed in a single pod. ________________________________ From: J.M.
