More about Vanilla? Okay. I had several types before the destruction. One had variegated leaves.dark green with nearly white striping. Vanilla is a vine. One form is used the most for making vanilla extract. Planifolia is the main one. The Flowers only bloom for a day and they need to be pollinated in the morning to make the seed pod. When the seed pod is mature, it is removed and dried before using it to make extract. The lovely vanilla flavor is used in many things. Perfumes to food. If you have ever had Breyers vanilla ice cream and seen the little black dots in it, those are actually vanilla vine seeds! Yummy stuff! Here is a link if you want to know more. It’s not 100% accurate but very close.
I laughed when Flowers sent Banjo off to find her own face to lay on. It turned out later to be my face! That made me crack up! Kitties!
I agree that when someone takes the time to say something kind or pleasant, it can change our day and can actually change lives. We never really know when we are kind, what may come of it. It’s always a worthwhile effort.
Sending love and Lady purrs!
