Vanilla flowers only last one day. When they open in the morning and are receptive, it is time to fertilize / pollinate them. This is done by pinching off a grass culm (stem) and using it to go into the flower, grab the pollen sack, and put it behind into the receptacle.
If fertilization is successful, the ovary will become pendulous and begin to enlarge.
