This beautiful fuschia-color flower is dangling from - believe it or not - an orchid plant. This Malaysian orchid, Medinilla sp., is a member of the vanilla family.
It is growing in a pot in my mom's garden and is quite large. I didn't think about it at the time, but I should have smelled the flower or the large leaves (you can see them pictured above the flower) to see if they have a scent of vanilla.
Hey mom, Smell them for me and post the results on my blog. Thanks!!!

Great blog, I am glad to see another Floridian sharing their gardening expirience on the web
Thanks for the compliment and for leaving a message on my blog. It's not easy finding other Florida blogs.
Oooh... pretty. I can't wait to hear whether they smell good, too!

ZXFDEXVSORRY SUSAN,
I HAVE TO CORRECT YOU BUT WHAT YOU SEE ON YOU`R ORCHID PLANT IS NOT THE FLOWER IT IS THE SEEDS AND THERE IS NO SCENT.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
MOM
