The photo is very old, so I don't remember for sure, but I believe that it was taken fairly soon after the plants came out of the shipping boxes; i.e., the plant should be as healthy as they ever got.mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-48339933671727790392011-11-23T11:49:49.616-08:002011-11-23T11:49:49.616-08:00I don't think I have ever seen a chartreuse va...I don't think I have ever seen a chartreuse vanilla planifolia before, variegated or not. Generally the variegated version is green-green with yellow-green stripes and while the normal is sort of yellowish, it is not light enough to be considered chartreuse(opinion may vary). Are you sure the plant in the picture is healthy? Or is it just a cultivar I have never seen before?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-38246591842457858932010-01-21T07:45:00.677-08:002010-01-21T07:45:00.677-08:00"Term Papers:"
