*Gives a "alright!" whistle in reaction to EF's good mood*
You do realize the number 1 plant residing in "the island"'s interior? A tree bearing fruits that have been nurtured by the most exquisite, chocolate black, volcanic earth the world has ever seen.. Perfected over the course of thousands of years, untouched.. The rainy season frees the roots of this tasteful fruit-tree and lets them dig deep into the seductive nutrient soil, bearing Pineapples so, so delicately mouth-watering.. A psychedelic journey for thy tongue. On this island.. pinneaple summer-sweet juice

Empress, I'm glad you feel better. I guess I missed it if you said you were not before. I'm kind of the same though, I've been grumpy and tired the past couple days but I feel better now.
Although I don't feel quite as strong a desire to go to the island now, the pineapples do sound mouth-watering. I love fresh pineapples. |

Pineapples don't grow on trees.

That's not a pineapple, CH, that's some sort of Cycad, I think. Pineapples are bromeliads. That's the stem, you're looking at. Pineapples are under the blossoms, as most fruit are.

Pineapple Palm (Phoenix canariensis)
Canary Islands Canary Island date palm is highly prized for its formal effect in the landscape, and for its hardiness that allows its use in cooler winter climates. The trunk is very wide compared to other palms. The leaf spread of Canary Island palms requires ample room for development even when the palms are young. Extremely tough and durable, this species endures dry conditions and, with occasional feeding, poor soils as well. As with most palms, poorly drained sites should be avoided. It's common name refers to the fat trunk on younger palms commonly seen throughout the valley. Easy to grow, likes full sun and will tolerate infrequent watering once established. Average growth is about 6" to 1 foot of height per year. Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is the common name for an edible tropical plant and also its fruit[1] It is native to the southern part of Brazil, and Paraguay.[2] This herbaceous perennial plant plant grows to (1–1.5 m) tall with 30 or more trough-shaped and pointed leaves 30–100 cm long, surrounding a thick stem. The pineapple is an example of a multiple fruit: multiple, spirally-arranged flowers along the axis each produce a fleshy fruit that becomes pressed against the fruits of adjacent flowers, forming what appears to be a single fleshy fruit. Pineapple is commonly used in desserts and other types of fruit dishes, or on its own. Pineapples are the only bromeliad fruit in widespread cultivation. It is one of the most commercially important plants which carry out CAM photosynthesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple Yes, CH, it is. And as I said, I think the picture you posted is a cycad of some type, not Phoenix canariensis.

Yeah... they've been biting the dust for awhile now... I wear my contacts most of the time and I just use my glasses for around the house and I think they've started to resent it..
First the tips of the bits that go behind the ears snapped off... and then I was just wiping a bit of a smudge off the lenses and a lens popped out Luckily I have tiny screwdrivers handy for just such an occurrence... they seem to be functioning now.. Good thing I've asked for new glasses for my birthday...
