+ add your ownVanilla beans do come from an orchid, Summerannie. The farms plant ten females for every one male...and these are all hand-pollinated. Mmmm...vanilla!

Thank you Annie, for Sharing this!

If you use fresh vanilla bean; after scraping the beans take the pod and place it in a small jar with vodka. Place in a dark place and let sit for several days. You can put the vanilla mixture in a spray bottle and use it as a room freshner.
doesn't get any easier than that. thanks.
cool beans!!
I really like the smell of vanilla but in a subtle way and while speaking about it I learnt that a Vanilla Pod/extract is from an Orchid. Fancy that huh? I just learnt that, googled it and bingo struck gold!
