I thought I would make a thread just for the Vanilla phaeantha. Please share your photos or experiences of this beautiful orchid, especially in the wild!

Here are the four photos I took:

The whole plant:

I hope you enjoy them.

Oh, I love seeing Vanilla pics... but I can't see them

You have to log in to Picasa and my login details are at home so I'm have to come back and take a look.

Those flowers are just wonderful. Great pics.

Have you noticed a tiny spider or similar near the top of the flower in the third pic?

Nice shot Justin. I've taken many shots of this flower but I'm having trouble finding my shots of vanilla flowers but here's one.

Justin, just wanted to say that I looked at your vanilla photos, then snooped through all the rest. Incredible photography work, would love to have 1/2 of your talent....maybe a better camera as well.

Very beautiful pictures! On a side note, is it even possible to grow a vanilla orchid in the house? Or do they only really grow well in the wild? I LOVE orchids and I LOVE vanilla! So I was just wondering if this is a plant I could grow?
Thnx- Katie
