Starting from an extensive pollination observation work which lasted 3 weeks to understand in detail the reproductive strategies adopted by cross- pollinated species, Andrea Aromatisi and Daniela Scaccabarozzi have contributed to research to preserve and develop the understanding over the Vanilla Orchid in the Peruvian Amazonian forest.
