The AVSA website has photos of both of these. On the menu on the left side of their website, click on 'photographs', then click on the letter for the plant. If you double click on the photograph, it will enlarge it.

The photo of Rob's Vanilla Trail is simply a better photo, so it isn't necessarily a better plant.

thank you so much! that gives me a sense on what the flowers look like... thank you again for your help!! I think I like the rob's vanilla for a flower... perhaps get leaves for pink mint instead!

I'd take Pink Mint any day over Rob's Vanilla Trail.
It grows and blooms at a better rate for me.
