Man, if you could make really good synthetic saffron or vanilla
flavoring, identical to the natural stuff, you'd be rich.

Self pollinating vanilla bean plants would work too!

Vanilla is a genus of orchid not a bean, Donald.

To be able to self pollinate the flowers, you would first need to
be growing the plants in full bloom!!!



The word "vanilla" comes from another word meaning "little bean",
are you proposing a name change from "Vanilla" to "Testicula"? Then
you will have a plant named after a part of you!

In the normal course of events, you need to have a plant growing in
full bloom no matter how you pollinate them.
