Very special trade. I have a super healthy, happy Vanilla Orchid, Vanilla planifolia for trade. I’ve had it for about 3 years. It’s about 5 feet tall, maybe taller as I didn’t want to stretch it out for fear of snapping it. I’d love to keep it but I really have no place for it as it is a Zone 10 plant and will tolerate no frost.
It’s half way to its blooming height. I did some checking and the going rate for this plant is about 10 dollar for 4 inches and unlike other trades I make, I expect this trade to be equitable which means I’ll probably be wanting a whole box full of plants for this one plant. Unless what I’m offered is just as dear.
You can go here to see an 11 meg picture of the plant so you can inspect it from top to bottom:
