Growing in a friend's greenhouse, one of his vanilla plants today.
Does he get a crop from it? That stuff is expensive!! Did he grow it from seed? Sounds like a good project.
oohh nice,tell us more!
Nice plant, still a baby though?! :P

The Grower is a good friend, Laid-Back-Dave. He's got two varieties of vanilla growing in his orchid house, the one shown and also a varigated variety. He's hoping to get a crop this year, or next (we are all looking forward to this) He grows many rare plants, mostly orchids, (some from micro-prop) ;)
Only you could have a friend called Laid back Dave :P
