After waiting three long years the dream begins to show growth above the spiky leaves
Who would have thought something so prickly could end up being sweet and YUMMY.
Word has it that when grown from the top of a pineapple the plant produces a smaller fruit.

This has been a fun project, it has grown quite a bit and should be ripe soon. Will do an update when it is picked.
Reblogged this on Appleledge II.
Thanks for reblogging this Robert.
That is very cool–I really like the last photo with the hand. It puts it into a certain perspective.
Glad you enjoyed this series – the hand made the whole thing complete
Love your photos, very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed.
this is super, love seeing the Pineapples stages and what gorgeous photos!!!
Thanks Lynn
That is so cool, growing a pineapple in the garden. Not something I could attempt here in the UK. Super images.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed. I wonder if this could be done indoors on a window sill….
Hope its a tasty treat when it matures
Will update when the time comes to harvest.
Love the shot with the hand.
Put everything into perspective
Great photos, love the plant and the fruit ….
Thanks!
Everyone above has commented like I would, however as an artist, I think the combination of the colors are mellowing, soft to the eye, distinct and God sure knows how to pick His colors…. Well Done Pearl….. sassy
Thanks Sharon! The colors are beautiful, I took the shots just before sunset and I think the golden hue of the end of the day added much to the images.
How fun and what a treat to be able to grow a pineapple. Such a fascinating plant family that you have shown so well.
I was beginning to loose heart because they are supposed to grow within a year.
Nice photos, with a great detail!
Thanks Pablo!
Great documentation….and each image beautifully photographed….I think I might feel a little sad to eat it after all this : ( !
Thanks Helen!
So, did ya eat it yet? How was it?
Still growing!
Balances out corn snake in the garden.
Sort of goes together like soup and sandwich
A very convincing series!
Thanks Tony
Oh yummmmmm and what fabulous details!
Thanks Tammy
Wow! Let us know how it tasted please!
Still ripening on the plant, will keep you posted.
The second one reminds me of the Victorian botanical drawings and paintings. Walter Fitch might have drawn and colored this pineapple fruit! It is just soft and lovely!
