  • The orchid you showed is not a vanilla. That is a staged shot with some other random orchid. The one I showed is from one of the many many Vanilla vines that I grow. They are not remotely the same.

    The flower in the logo is very clearly a Plumaria.

    Look if you dont know fuck about shit when it comes to flowers and plants, thats fine. But maybe don’t have an opinion then. However if you name your OS after a plant, and then proceed to butcher its presentation, you should be prepared for push back.


  • No they dont.

    Not even close.

    The flower in the logo is a radially symmetrical five petaled flower, with overlapping petals in a whorl. A vanilla flower is a bilaterally symmetrical three petaled flower with a fused labellum/ and column. They look nothing alike.

    The Vanilla flower picture I posted is from April and is literally growing on a Plumaria (which the logo obviously is). I’m going to walk outside and edit this response and add a picture from that Plumaria.
