Yes, you can grow vanilla if you have the room. They are a vine and if what I heard is correct they don't flower till they get real long. |

Vanilla planifolia (i.e. commercial vanilla) can be grown in a house, however, it has to be pretty long (as in tens of feet) before it will flower. As such, it can be challenging to grow in a home environment.

Justin, I have easily 30 pages that need to be added, along with updates to the existing pages (changing from the old HTML format to the new PHP/database driven format).
But I will get to those in time.

Might the Mule Ear be one of the new additions? Or the Florida Oncidium? |

Thanks Dave and Prem. Maybe something more suited for when we get a house and plan on living there for a LONG time  |

I have seen neither of those Oncidiums - the only oncidioids that I have seen in the wild are Tol. bahamensis and Ionopsis utricularoides.

I thought I'd add a pic of the vanilla plant to show it's size. Of all the vanillas I saw at Fakahatchee, none had flowers.

Sweet Tooth, I have a varigated vanilla that my sister in law got for me from the Miami orchid show.
I also see planifolia listed at some sites either as seedlinds, or section of vine cuttings. Just google orchids and vanillas and you should find some.
