It's been a year and two months but today I started hand-pollinating my vanilla orchid again. Missed the first 5 flowers, got one today, hopefully there will be 12 or more after that. I got 19 beans from last year's. Pictures from last year.

Interesting, the vanilla bean looks lie a green bean. I wonder how expensive vanilla is there. It is very expensive here.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
