Top of the morning to ya, Sue
The scent must be fabulous!!!
That pretty flower appears to be more yellow in color - thought they were all white or do they change color
How long will this blossom last?

Happy Day!

My allergies are in high gear this morning so I can't smell anything yet

All the pics I've seen of vanilla planifolia blooms have been yellow... I wonder if I can get a white one? ... ;dance:

I got this 18 inch cutting last June from my friend Linda and it is now a little over 6 feet tall! The buds seem to be coming in pairs so there's another getting ready to go right next to this one plus 2 more new growths with their own buds!

A great start to the day

Wow!!! That is beautiful. For some odd reason I figured commercialized/edible orchids would have drab blooms. Boy was I wrong!!!! Nice!! Nice!! Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a Catt relative.
