I believe vanilla comes from a species of orchids.

Yes it does-but from the bean, not the roots.

We can grow vanilla orchids here in Florida but lack the pollinator, a certain species of moth, so they have to be manually pollinated.

And the chili peppers used in their traditional food came from the Americas - I demand that these Africans stop their appropriation of my heritage.
