It looks really cool and the flower heads are about the size of my fist. Sorry if the photo is kinda blurry but I got stung by a wasp on my hand before I shot...

    My Pineapple Project

    I really didn't think Pineapples would grow here but I was def wrong. They love hot weather! I started this one by cutting off the top of a pineapple mom bought at the store. The leaves were tuff and green (that's very important) and I made the cut about 1 inch from the top. Then I hung the...
