As many of us know, vanilla is the highly prized seed pod of the orchid
vanilla plant. I simply love the aroma of this plant and its derivative -
vanilla. My question: for a retiree, is there any place in the USA that
vanilla grows naturally - or can be induced to grow naturally.

What a combination! The fragrant aroma of vanilla and the pleasure of
these orchids vining over my home! Anyone who has found this garden of
paradise, please speak up!!
