Default Vanilla planifolia

This one has been blooming for a while, so I photographed it before leaving to Redlands... it is still blooming, and won't stop maybe until July...
Sorry for the poor photo quality... I'm not good at photography, and neither is my camera

Vanilla planifolia

Is there any scent to it? or is all the vanilla essence in the seed pod once it's processed.

Oh no, there is a scent If you go outside, take a very long walk in the sun, come back, take off your socks, and take a wiff, you will have the equivalent scent of a Vanilla planifolia flower...

Pleasing scent only comes from the processed (or just dried) pod.

It's curious that Vanilla flowers have a 'blue cheese' scent and some Stanhopeas flowers have a 'vanilla' fragrance! Sometimes orchids are really weird!

Guess they felt like being in the wild they needed to guard themselves against the enemy ... can't do a stinker, the kid would hate the competition once his shoes come off
