Vanilla vine in bloom!

We are excited, finally a bloom on a vanilla vine! Vanilla is actually
an orchid, as you can see from the blossom. Now we wait for the vanilla
pod, which looks like a dark brown skinny dried up green bean when it's
ready for harvest. We have a few pods that we purchased, soaking in a
bottle of alcohol in our pantry, which after a couple of months should
result in wonderful full strength pure vanilla extract. After just one
month it already has lost the smell of the original vodka and the
vanilla has taken over.
