Description
Yes, these plants really do produce vanilla beans!
Vanilla Planifolia is a species of vanilla orchid. It is native to Mexico and Belize. It is one of the primary sources for vanilla flavoring, due to its high vanillin content. This Vinalla Orchid stands 23 inches tall, with growth growing above the pole.
Common names include flat-leaved vanilla, and West Indian vanilla (also used for the Pompona vanilla, V. pompona). Often, it is simply referred to as "the vanilla". It was first scientifically named in 1808. With the species' population in decline and its habitats being converted to other purposes, the IUCN has assessed Vanilla planifolia as Endangered.
