The vanilla orchid blooms for only a few hours each morning and must be pollinated by hand before the flower closes and the bean is lost. The vanilla farmers of Ndzuwani wake before dawn during blooming season and walk through the plantations with small sticks, transferring pollen from one flower to another by hand. This is why Comorian vanilla costs what it costs: every single bean is the product of a human hand touching a single flower at the exact right moment.
