Pineapple Plant - Blooming Pineapples!

Pinapple Plant
Originally uploaded by netmouse.

Years ago, Bill had this idea that we would grow pineapple plants in our house, and harvest pineapples of our very own. Grow they did, but they didn't sprout pineapples until this year (My guess, having heard you can trigger them with ripening apples, is that they started blooming after we sprays all the plants with bitter apple spray to keep the cat off them).

It's fun watching them bloom fruit. :)

Odd. I always though the pineapple was not techincally a fruit, but instead the pith of the plant. I see your post, go off to Wikipedia, and learn that it is a berry!

Amazing...
