I researched on how to preserve the pods for cooking or flavoring. Others say soak it in light white wine, others say soak it in a neutral oil....but Vanilla growers soak it in a different compound and I will follow whatever soak I get first. I will leave one pod for flasking.

Thank You Tommy!

I saw your plant is blooming sized. These kind of orchid will bloom anytime it wants to=so make sure you give it care and let it bloom for you.

May I give this thread a bump and ask if the seeds tasted good ?

I repotted this in a tree fern pot mount because the tree fern plank has started to decay.

I also posted the cured pod soaked in Brandy ready for cooking or just like how vanilla is used for desert.

*I only got two pods this time

I baked Madeleines. That little French butter cake that most (non-French) people think of more as a cookie...I substituted my cured Leptotes bicolor pod extract =instead of vanilla....it was delicious! With a different aroma but brandy aftertaste....I must perfect my Leptotes bicolor extract next time soaking it in vodka for 8 weeks....
