Just asking about the Vanilla Orchid in New Zealand, is the type that is used for the vanilla bean production available here? Cheers, Martyn H

Hi Martyn Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) is a warm growing orchid, so can be more difficult to grow here unless you have a heated greenhouse. It is not readily available, although I think L and R Orchids may stock. Their web site is http://www.lrorchids.co.nz/ Good luck with kind regards Phil
