Homegrown Pineapple

The pineapple plant seemed to perk up when I painted the walls of my loft with the colors of a tropical skittles bag--but even then I wasn't counting on a pineapple to come fourth from my 5 year old plant that seemed to be merely for decoration.  Well...decoroation and poking anybody that walked by.  But now I have an actual piece of fruit on a very big, green stick.  mmmm...  Grow little pineapple, grow!!
