Florida has a few native species of the vanilla orchid: https://www.fairchildgarden.org/Events-Community-Outreach/Ev...

If it weren't for the pollination issue, I would suspect that Florida might have been a natural place to produce vanilla beans.

i wonder if pollination can be achieved by autonomous drones specifically designed for it?
