TheBanyanTree: Pregnant Pineapple Dialogue

[Indiglow]

Totally cool!  What's your climate like?  Do I need to stick the pot in the greenhouse here in freezing, rainy Oregon?
Peace,
Jana

Back a few years, NancyLee opened my eyes to a wondrous
possibility: "once you eat your first real pineapple, you cut
the top off . .and replant it.  Closest thing to a perpetual 
plant, seems to me."  

Dee caught the same wonder: "You actually get an edible
pineapple the following year? Wowser!"  

NancyLee gave the details and offered, "I don't know what
success you might experience, or how long it might take. But, 
it's fun to try."

I tried it. NancyLee spoke true.  

Took me a few years.. It WAS fun.

Laura asked, "I don't suppose you have a picture or two you
could share of this very kewl thing, do you?"

Yes.  Here is a photo of a very kewl thing:
