Pink pigmented facultative methylotrophic bacteria produce B12 vitamine. This bacteria lives at the plant stomata openings.

You might be thinking of bacteria that fix nitrogen (not a vitamin, but a "fertilizer" and component of proteins and DNA/RNA) These are produced on plants from the bean and pea family (legumes) and the structures are called nodules: http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/webb/BOT410/Roots/RootSymbioses.htm
