Sorry, wrong answer.
Correct answer is - Orchid. Vanilla comes from the vanilla orchid (Vanilla planifolia), which is native to Mexico. It's a tropical climbing vine that produces long, green pods, known as vanilla beans. The vanilla orchid flower blooms only one day, and it needs to be pollinated in order to produce the vanilla bean. In its native Mexico, the flower is naturally pollinated by a specific species of bee, called the Melipona bee. Outside of Mexico, where this bee isn't found, vanilla flowers are often pollinated by hand.
