Sami, the vanilla bean is the pod from the orchid named vanilla. 😉

It is really a beautiful flower and smells heavenly

Montana Lady, oh, read the question again. The plant is an orchid and when pollinated the bean is picked which has the vanilla flavour. FYI, they are pollinated by hand, and therefore are very time consuming and expensive to buy. They only have a window of few hours to pick them to ensure they're at their best!!

Scruff.Diddles, me either!! I knew it came inside a bean but I did not know it was a flower
Jen Hen
Sami, the bean is encased by the 'pod'.
Montana Lady
All plants have a seed of some sort. The seed of this particular orchid is in the form of a pod we call a vanilla bean... make sense now?

Once again, a slave provides something beneficial to human kind. Well, it is to me. I love vanilla. It is not just plain or ordinary; it is a very complex flavor not something artificially produced. God is good. Second and third among my favorites are coffee and chocolate.

Why do they put a picture of an orchid with a vanilla bean? Bit of an obvious clue!

Player #26262294, he didn't discovered it, he just tried to do hand pollination that worked. Vanilla is from Mexico and as chocolate was used since pre-hispanic times

Does vanilla flavoring come from orchids?
Vanilla is a spice derived from orchids of the genus Vanilla, primarily obtained from pods of the Mexican species, flat-leaved vanilla (V. planifolia).

Blue Dog

This explains why pure vanilla extract is so expensive
Susan
Vanilla extract is obtained from the orchid. Vanilla flavoring is obtained from a lab.
