I have some rooted cuttings vanilla planifolia Bourbon, I can sell them for 12$ including shipping.Can send them without soil.
As an orchid collector (North of 400) the Vanilla Orchid you want is native the Central East Coast of FL. The Vanilla genus has roughly 100 species and mine in Davie FL. has plenty of flowers and never been pollinated. I do remember seeing something, somewhere that the U. of Florida is working to make a cash crop out of vanilla plantifolia.

I've never seen them for sale though, and Vanilla plantifolia seems to be a pretty common plant at plant sales. A hybrid between the two would be pretty neat.
