Vanilla planifolia
This one has been blooming for a while, so I photographed it before leaving to Redlands... it is still blooming, and won't stop maybe until July... 
Sorry for the poor photo quality... I'm not good at photography, and neither is my camera

Is there any scent to it? or is all the vanilla essence in the seed pod once it's processed.

Oh no, there is a scent  If you go outside, take a very long walk in the sun, come back, take off your socks, and take a wiff, you will have the equivalent scent of a Vanilla planifolia flower...
Pleasing scent only comes from the processed (or just dried) pod.

It's curious that Vanilla flowers have a 'blue cheese' scent and some Stanhopeas flowers have a 'vanilla' fragrance! Sometimes orchids are really weird!

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Guess they felt like being in the wild they needed to guard themselves against the enemy  ... can't do a stinker, the kid would hate the competition once his shoes come off
