Vanilla is native to México

Did you know that the place of origin of the queen of all spices is México? I think it is one of the best gift from México to the world! Vanilla comes from orchids and is a vine-like plant that grows up trees. Also, vanilla is the second-most expensive spice after saffron.

The pics I made in Papantla, in the north of the state of Veracruz.

Here a lovely old Mexican legend of vanilla - queen of all spices:

The young Chocolatl and the beautiful Vainilla, loved each other very much. A bad magician, who grudged them their love, transformed Chocolatl in a tree and Vainilla in an orchid. However, the love of both was so strong that the orchid Vainilla embraced the tree Chocolatl like the girl once was embraced by her lover. And it's said that who picks the fruits of the tree and the orchid and prepares for himself a drink from it, will feel nothing but love.
