That sounds interesting and exciting Andie. OUr pinapple plants are just out in the garden. I think it took about 12 months from the time the pinapple appeared. We just plant them and wait and wait. It is really sweet. I never liked fresh pineapple until we visited Queensland for the first time. It's still fairly hard to get a lovely sweet one here.

This page explains in detail how to grow a pineapple plant and how to force it to bloom.

Thanks Andie. CC I don't have green fingers at all. It is usually a case of give me  a plant and I'll kill it quickly. All we have in our garden are roses, herbs and a small vegie garden.
