My Vanilla planfolia arrived today and was potted, it is not much of a plant so we will see how it does. I gave it a good sized piece of branch climb and placed it in a bright spot in the greenhouse.

Well, happy and sad news.....two flowers opened, and I broke the first one trying to pollinate it(grrrrr, I need a drink), and think I got the second one done. Two more to come, then the long wait till I can harvest and start the next long process, but still fun.

Oh man after all that time waiting and you broke it know your feeling bad

Yes, feel pretty crappy, at least I didn't break the second one, they are kinda hard not to break...practice I guess.
