The vines that fill the jungle all around are quite spectacular! They grow thick and tall as the tallest trees, disappearing from view into the heights of the top storey of the forest.
This below is a vanilla flower. Vanilla is also a vine. The vine has to be three and a half years old before flowers start to appear. The delicious vanilla perfume and flavoring that you love in cakes, ice cream and so many sweet dishes and exotic perfumes comes from the pods of this vine. It is a type of orchid. The seed pods develop after the flowers get pollinated. I shall be very happy to see pods developing as vanilla is a real favourites of mine.

Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect but because we put our heart into what we do.
