Native to Mexico, the vine was brought to Europe in the 1500s but the plant would not pollinate over there.
It is fertile one morning per year and must be done within 12 hours.

Later, it was found out there is a certain kind of bee that knows how to lift a little hood-like membrane to expose the goodies.
The Melipona bee does it's thing from flower to flower and the fruit that comes forth is vanilla.
The bee AND the plant needed to be on the scene from day one, or there would be NO vanilla ice-cream today.

Would you please, please, please change your fucking user name?!? You insult every professor in the world, even the one on Gilligan's Island, by calling yourself that.

If you really can't think of something else, let me know. I've got some good suggestions! [Image: Angel16.gif]

Can we have a mod change his username to 5thYearFreshman?
