So how about growing some vanilla orchids

[RogueFinger]

I'm just a beginner, but I have a general idea on how to grow orchids and especially vanilla orchids (I've done my research on how to grow these lil guys).

Just curious on how people actually go about getting their hands on these chaps. I've seen many sites that claim to be selling cuttings, however these always tend to look quite sus. That being said I'd also prefer to germinate them from seed, but vanilla seeds seem to be even harder to find than the cuttings. (I don't know if it's just Australia or is it hard to find everywhere? I'm assuming that it ain't that hard to find in places like South America n' areas like that)

Also, it doesn't seem like this forum is really Australia oriented, if there is an Australian forum please let me know. But for the moment ill stick to this place... it seems pretty cool.

Any words of advice would be much appreciated but just be warned I am certain this is what I wanna do, no words of this'll be too difficult or try something else first. My mind is set. That being said, I look forward to hearing from this forum and you guys.

Oh and hello Orchid Board
