Vanilla orchids? That is utterly ridiculous.

[He sounds happy.]

If anyone wants real vanilla beans--well, botanically, they're capsules, but who am I to argue with popular parlance--it looks like this batch will be fully ripe in a few weeks.

It's probably V. planifolia, but I wouldn't swear it's not V. pompona. Botany's not my strongest suite ( Read more... )

... Vanilla orchids, you say, sir?

fred_cassidy September 2 2009, 02:51:40 UTC

I do say. The vine is distinctive.

[Delicious.]

May I inquire as to your location, sir?

[His voice is almost trembling with excitement!]

Deck 03, up a tree.

[Pause.]

I apologize for the rhyme.

FREH-DUH.

Your contribution to the discourse is as ineffable as ever, Whiskey.

You know how hard that forest is to set on fire, brother?

They don't call 'em "rainforests" for their aridity.

Really now. There's vanilla? I'm sure I can work that into something.

fred_cassidy September 2 2009, 03:25:39 UTC

Possibly there's vanilla elsewhere, but there's definitely vanilla here.

A bit inaccessible, though.

ttlynotawizard September 2 2009, 03:29:19 UTC

Where exactly is it?

fred_cassidy September 2 2009, 03:36:41 UTC

Three-quarters of the way up a tree on Deck 03.

I'm not qualified to identify it by species, but it's almost certainly an evergreen angiosperm.
