My pineapple is blooming!
Here's something I did not know. A pineapple will bloom on it way to maturity. The fruit itself will send out little purple flowers which then become the dreaded seeds that you can never cut out all the way. This small pineapple is about 3-4 inches and the plant extends out from the center about 2.5-3 ft on all sides. The ends of the spikey leaves are damaged because the dog plays with them and the lawnmower clips them.
This is the fist pineapple I've had set fruit, so I'm still new at it. This one has been in the ground for about 2 years I think. It was the top from a grocery store pineapple.

I did not know they bloomed either Danielle. Well they are actually pretty when blooming.
Congrats...that is pretty neat!
Wow, the first time I read this post, I missed the last line! How awesome. I've planted the tops before but never been patient enough to let them grow into a fruiting plant, partially because I wasn't sure they really would. Now I know better!
