My Ananas nanus or more commonly known as Dwarf Pineapple finally came forth with fruit after 2 years of grooming. Every morning i checked out the shoot and it seems to be raising up fast; maybe half an inch each day!
On 7 Nov 2011.
All in a month's time, dozens individual flowerets grow together to form the entire fruit. From the lowest row, purple flowerets bloom and dried up (you see blooming flowerets only at the top row now), forming the scales on the pineapple.
Each scale on the pineapple is thus evidence of a separate flower, it's amazing. I didn't realize it was flowers until i saw visiting Hummingbird probe deeply into the purple blossoms, feeding on its nectar!
Are now waiting for the fruit to ripen - hope to update with more photos and details.
