- ๐จ The Vanilla Bean Orchid (Vanilla planifolia) is a tropical climbing beauty and the source of the worldโs favorite spice - vanilla. This luxurious plant adds elegance to any space, indoors or out.
- ๐จ A piece of history: Once revered by the Aztecs for flavoring the decadent cacao drink Xoco-latl, vanilla remains a symbol of comfort, luxury, and flavor.
