Pineapple blossom Previous Image This image is used in the gallery Other Plants.

I'm sure you are aware that if you cut the top off of a pineapple and put it in soil it will grow into a pineapple plant. Yes indeed they do. Pineapples are a variety of Bromeliad and bromeliads grow like crazy if you have the touch... or a greenhouse. Well, I haven't a greenhouse and this poor little Pineapple has been struggling on here the past few years. The Missouri Ozarks are a far sight from Hawaii or more tropical climes — except in summer when we have heat and humidity to match the best of them, you only have to imagine the ocean, palm trees and hula dancers. One day I remembered to water the Pineapple and to my amazement it was actually blooming! Gee, maybe the fertilizer I had given it a few months back had given it some ideas. Anyhow. it's a little stunted, but it sure is cute! you can see that each little cell on the pineapple has it's own blossom. I wonder how a field of them in bloom look.
