This would be considered "long-range anticipation". This Vanilla planifolio is now three years old and the vine is perhaps 5-6' long. It is hard to tell because it has been wrapped through the cane lattice quite a few time. The plant looks very healthy. I will probably have to build a wider/taller lattice this spring for her. I hope to live long enough to see this Vanilla Orchid bloom.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
