Oh where did you get that plant. Actually this is not found in India. It was introduced by Britishers for Vanilla extraction from the seed pods. Nice to see that it flowered. I have it at home but it never flowers.
Thanks for sharing.
Pankaj

Pankaj, there are now many "spice" farms in and around Goa. Eco-tourism is catching up. Cultivated plants and their importance and trivia are explained to tourists.
This particular vanilla plant is at Tanshikar's Spice Farm at Netorli, Goa.

Usha di - have put a link below pronunciation and meaning ... Dave's Botanary ( http://davesgarden.com/guides/botanary/ )
